🎃 BOO! Halloween candy season is here!

Did you know some treats are friendlier to your teeth than others?

🍫 Chocolate: A better choice because it generally washes away more easily.
🍬 Sticky gummies and caramels: Can cling to teeth and are harder to clean away.
🍭 Sour candies: Often contain acids that can contribute to enamel erosion.

Our tip? Enjoy your Halloween treats with meals, drink water afterward, and keep up your brushing and flossing!

“If my gums bleed when I floss, I should stop flossing until they heal.”

What do you think?

TRUE or️ FALSE

Answer: FALSE!

Bleeding gums are often a sign of inflammation from plaque buildup. Gentle, consistent brushing and cleaning between the teeth are important for improving gum health. Persistent bleeding, however, deserves a dental evaluation.

Bonus question: How many times per day do you floss? 😁

🦷 WHEN WAS YOUR LAST DENTAL CLEANING?

If you had to stop and think about it…it might be time! 😉

For many patients, regular dental cleanings about every 6 months are a great way to stay ahead of dental problems. Your routine visit allows us to:

✨ Remove plaque and tartar you can’t brush away at home
🩷 Check for signs of gum inflammation and periodontal disease
🔍 Catch cavities and other concerns early
😁 Keep your smile feeling fresh and clean
🦷 Review your home-care routine and make personalized recommendations

Some patients need cleanings more frequently depending on their gum health and individual risk factors, so we’ll help determine the schedule that’s best for you.

📅 Not sure when you’re due? Give us a call and we’ll check!

Football, soccer, volleyball, basketball and other fall sports are back—and so are chipped and knocked-out teeth. 😳

A properly fitted mouthguard can help protect your athlete’s teeth, lips, cheeks and jaw from sports-related injuries.

Parents: does your child have a mouthguard in the sports bag yet?

Give our office a call and ask us about mouthguard options before the season gets into full swing.
