Memorial Day Weekend at Aleris Salem Dental Office!

It’s Memorial Day weekend! A good time to gather with friends and family to remember and honor those who served our country for years. This family time comes all the delicious party food. One of the most popular items consumed during the Memorial Day holiday is actually the worst for your child’s teeth. What is it, you may ask? The answer is SODA! Soda gets continuously sipped, providing a steady supply of pure sugar to your kiddo’s vulnerable teeth. This holiday, opt for water. And just in case you think water is far too boring, here are a couple of ideas to perk it up.

Juice + Seltzer = Jeltzer!

Mix 100% juice with seltzer. A thick, tart juice, such as cranberry, pomegranate, or grape, makes for a great jeltzer base in addition to supplying health benefits.

Fruit it up!

Infuse water with flavors of fruit. Add slices of your favorite fruits; lemons, oranges, watermelon, berries, grapefruit, or limes, to a pitcher of ice-cold water for a refreshing and flavorful drink. You can actaully add any type of fruit you like; it’s fun to experiment. Get your kids involved – they’ll love choosing their favorite fruit and even fun fruit combinations, then doing a taste-test.

Have a fun, safe and low-sugar holiday!
