Keep Your Spooktacular Smiles

Do you know how to enjoy Halloween and to keep your smile healthy?

  • Always brush and floss your teeth before going to bed.

  • Cavities are caused when sugar mixes with bacteria in your mouth. It is best to eat sugary treats at the end of mealtime while there is still plenty of saliva in your mouth.

  • Avoid soft, sticky treats that get stuck between your teeth.

  • Trick-or-treaters with braces should not eat these treats: nuts, caramel, and hard candy.

  • Water will help to wash away some of the sugar and acid. Grab a glass of water when you need a drink!

  • There are plenty of other foods that trick-or-treaters who wear braces can enjoy, like chocolate!

Wishing you a Happy Halloween and happy treat eating in the weeks to come!
