Enjoy Treats Without Tricks on Your Teeth
Halloween is one of the sweetest times of the year—but it can also be a spooky time for your teeth! At Marinaside Dental, we want you to enjoy the season responsibly with some simple oral health tips.
Choose Candy Wisely
Sticky and chewy candies like caramel or gummies cling to teeth and feed bacteria. Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is a better option since it rinses away more easily.
Set Candy Limits
Let kids enjoy their treats but encourage moderation. Eating candy in one sitting, followed by brushing or rinsing, is better than snacking throughout the day.
Don’t Forget to Brush and Floss
Brushing before bed and flossing daily helps prevent sugar buildup. Encourage kids to drink plenty of water after candy to wash away residue.
