Halloween is a time for spooky fun and, of course, candy! But while you're enjoying those sweet treats, don't forget to look after your teeth. Here are a few simple tips to keep your smile healthy while indulging in your favourite Halloween goodies:
1. Choose Chocolate Over Sticky Candy Chocolate is a better option for your teeth because it melts quickly and doesn't stick as much as gummy or chewy candies, which can cling to your teeth and cause cavities. 2. Rinse with Water After enjoying your candy, drink water to help wash away sugar and acids that can harm your teeth. It's a simple way to minimise damage before you brush. Use a fluoride mouthwash at another time to brushing! 3. Don't Skip Brushing & Flossing Make sure to brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Don't forget to floss to remove any sticky bits stuck between your teeth! 4. Enjoy Candy in Moderation
It's easy to go overboard with all that Halloween candy. Try to enjoy your treats in moderation to reduce the risk of tooth decay. Enjoy Halloween - but remember - taking care of your teeth now will help keep your smile bright for many Halloweens to come! 🎃🦷 Happy Halloween from Vale View Dental Care!
