Recipes For A Dental-Friendly Thanksgiving

From 1621 until now, many of the dishes have been removed or
added to the traditional Thanksgiving menu, but the turkey has kept its place
in the top. That is why this day is also known as "Turkey Day".
Besides turkey, you can eat pumpkin pie, cherry sauce, apple cider, fruit punch
etc. However, some of these foods, especially those rich in sugar, are not
healthy for the teeth. Considering that most people eat more of them during the
holidays, they can end up experiencing dental problems, and should plan a visit to the local
Highlands Ranch sedation dentistry
practice.
Here are a few recipes that will also make your teeth thankful.
· Roasted Brussels sprouts - this tooth-healthy Thanksgiving green is delicious and all you need is olive oil, parmesan, garlic, salt and pepper. Roast the Brussels sprouts at 400 degrees F, for about 20 minutes.
· Roasted sweet potatoes are another dental super food, very healthy, that promote good oral health. Preheat your oven at a high temperature, chop the potatoes into 2-inch pieces, season them with whatever you like (you can use butter, olive oil, chili powder, onion, herbs etc.)
· Cinnamon baked pears – something sweet and healthy. Place cored pears on a baking paper. Use cinnamon and maple syrup to sprinkle them and then bake for 20 to 25 minutes, at 350 degrees F. Before serving, you can also add a bit of your favorite topping.
