Ah, yes. It’s that time again for crisp air, falling leaves, bobbing for apples, and
trick-or-treating. Whether you go old school door to door or a Trunk or Treat
event, you will be taking home a bunch of goodies! So, here are a couple of
guidelines to remember.
1. Keep your goody bag in one hand, and some dental floss in the other.
2. Sticky, chewy, gooey goodness will lay in the nooks and crannies of your
teeth and could exacerbate decay.
3. Play keep away with candies such as Jaw Breakers; you only want to LOOK
like you have a broken tooth on Halloween.
4. Although all sweets can be harmful to your oral health, a good old chocolate
bar or a slice of pumpkin pie are much better choices over super hard or
super sticky!
5. Choose water over soda or sports drinks, as the sugars and acidity of those
drinks will just add more cavity goblins.
Remember to brush and floss at least twice a day, and the more you do so during
this peak candy season, the healthier you will look and feel!
