We have so much to be thankful for! But in spite of the really great things like family, health and God’s grace to us, I’d like to focus on the traditional thanksgiving dinner.

In my family we make a big deal about traditional foods… maybe you do too! Do you ever see folks having a hard time chewing their thanksgiving turkey (“veggie” in my house) because they have some back teeth missing, or maybe the pressure of biting hurts one side or the other? Or maybe they pass on pecan or pumpkin pie, because the some teeth are sensitive to the sweetness. Or possibly they can’t enjoy ice cream on their pie – the cold hurts their teeth. Isn’t that sad??

Especially around the holidays, when so many wonderful foods make their appearance, it seems tragic not to be able to enjoy eating. Healthy teeth don’t hurt! And having healthy teeth in a nicely balanced bite lets you enjoy food and family for the holidays!
