Trick or Treat! Protect Your Teeth From Halloween!


1.  Give out healthy snacks
 Try sugar-free gum.

2. Try not to let the sweets sit in your teeth for too long
Snack on small candies and steer clear of the hard or sticky candies.  Have a glass of water with the candy and brush your teeth thoroughly after eating. 

3. Eat the Halloween sweets in moderation
Even the healthy alternatives, if eaten in excess can cause tooth decay.  So be sure to always eat things in moderation.

4. Fluoride helps fight cavities 
Try to use a toothpaste that has fluoride in it and brush twice a day to keep your teeth sparkling white.
