Any sweets from the usual New Year's gifts are harmful, especially in cases when they remain in the mouth for a long time and stick to the teeth.

These are caramels, toffees, and lollipops that provoke caries.

Dentist Lyudmila Shemyakina made this statement to Gazeta.Ru .

The specialist recommended giving up milk chocolate.

The doctor also listed safer dessert options.

We are talking about natural marmalade, pastila, and dark chocolate.

But they also need to be eaten in limited quantities. You can only indulge in dessert once a day.

Lyudmila Shemyakina reminded journalists in a conversation about how to minimize the consequences of such delicacies.

The process is extremely simple.

The thing is that after each serving of sweets you need to brush your teeth. If this is not possible, then it is enough to simply rinse your mouth with clean water.
