🎃👻 Spooky season is quickly approaching… and we’re here to help you avoid these spooky smile mistakes! 🦷🕸️
🦷 Here are our top tips for keeping your smile healthy this spooky season
👻 Beware of sugar attacks! Sugar feeds bacteria in your mouth, which produce acids that attack your tooth enamel and can lead to tooth decay.
🍭 Keep treats to mealtimes. It’s not just how much sugar you eat, but how often you eat it! Enjoying sweets with a meal rather than snacking on them throughout the day helps reduce the number of acid attacks on your teeth.
🍬 Choose your treats wisely. Sticky sweets, toffees and hard-boiled sweets can be particularly troublesome as they stay on your teeth for longer or can potentially damage them.
🪥 Don’t skip your brushing routine! Brush twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste, making sure you brush last thing at night. Spit, don’t rinse,to allow the fluoride to keep protecting your teeth.
🎃 You can still enjoy your Halloween treats without letting tooth decay creep in!
Wishing all our patients a fang-tastic Halloween🧛♀️
