A little Halloween candy never hurt… but your teeth might disagree!
You don’t have to skip the treats this Halloween! Here are a few tips to enjoy your favorites while keeping your smile happy:
🍭 Limit sticky & chewy treats – Caramels, taffy, gummy candy, and fruit snacks can cling to teeth and give cavity-causing bacteria more time to work.
🎃 Enjoy your treats with a meal when possible – Your mouth produces more saliva while eating, which helps wash away food and neutralize acids.
💧 Drink plenty of water – Especially after enjoying something sweet. Water helps rinse away leftover sugar.
🪥 Don’t forget to brush & floss! – Keep up your oral hygiene routine, especially before bedtime, in order to keep your smile spooky-clean! 👻🦷
