3 Ways To Safely “Go Green” On St. Patrick’s Day

Posted on March 4th, 2019

Well, there’s the chance to eat lots of shamrock-shaped cookies, indulge in green-hued drinks, and gobble down lots of other sweets on St. Patrick’s Day, which is certainly one way to celebrate. However, what can you do if that’s not your thing because it doesn’t exactly align with your method of dental care? If you’d love to take part with all-things-green but you need some new ideas that are fresh and that will let you keep your smile nice and safe, our Saxonburg, PA team has some obvious (and a bit more figurative) takes on going green for this holiday!

#1: Wear Green: Completely Smile Safe!

One very easy way to celebrate that will absolutely not alter your dental care in the least? We suggest you wear green! Throw on a green shirt, scarf, pair of pants, socks, etc., and you’ll be on the path toward skipping pinching fingers on St. Patrick’s Day! You’ll be able to join in the fun, while your smile avoids the sugars, carbs, food coloring, and more associated with the usual excitement.

#2: Eat Your Greens!

Maybe you really want to incorporate food into your holiday experience but as mentioned, you’re serious about your dental care. Well, with that said, don’t forget the fact that green leafy veggies (and then all other veggies and fruits that are green) are so good for your smile! Make a super-green salad with lots of greens, green apple chunks, green bell peppers, etc., for a fun take on green food!

#3: “Go Green” With Dental Hygiene

What might it mean to go green in the bathroom, when you are so dedicated to your dental care? Well, it can mean going green with colors or it can also mean “going green” in regard to our environment. Consider some cool ideas that just might strike a chord with you:

  • If you’re quite into themes for holidays, you may wish to pull out your shamrock-print towels, green towels, switch to a green-hued toothpaste, use a green toothbrush, etc. Thanks to the fact that so many dental care items are mint flavored, this will prove to be quite easy!
  • Go green in terms of the environment. This means, check in on what you may be doing in terms of dental care that may be a bit wasteful and change your ways. Using paper cups to rinse? Switch to glass. Using paper towels? Use a hand towel instead. You get the idea!
