From rooftop fireworks to backyard BBQs, NYC holidays are all about celebrating. Don’t let a cracked tooth or toothache cut the fun short. TriBeCa Dental Associates is here for Manhattan and Brooklyn smiles all season long.
Fireworks Fun: Don’t Use Your Teeth as Tools
Never use your teeth to tear open fireworks or party packaging. One wrong move can chip or break a tooth. Use scissors instead.If you damage a tooth, call our Manhattan or Brooklyn offices.
BBQ Bites: Protect Teeth from Holiday Favorites
Ribs, corn on the cob, and burgers are holiday staples—but eat smart. Cut meat off the bone and avoid biting hard gristle. Take small bites and chew slowly to protect fillings, crowns, and natural teeth.
Sweet Sauces & Sodas: Hidden Holiday Tooth Traps
BBQ sauces, desserts, and sodas cling to teeth and feed cavity-causing bacteria. Enjoy them, but sip water between bites and rinse afterward. Try to limit constant snacking so your teeth get a break.
Holiday Drinks, Ice & Your Enamel
Cold drinks feel great by the grill or at a New Year’s toast, but don’t chew the ice. It can crack teeth or damage dental work. If hot or cold drinks suddenly cause pain, it’s a sign to see your dentist soon.
