- Consume Halloween candy with meals
- Saliva production increases during meals and helps neutralize acids produced by bacteria in your mouth and help rinse away food particles!
- Avoid sticky candies
- The stickier candies, like taffy and gummy bears, take longer to get washed away by saliva, which increase the risk of cavities!
- Avoid hard candies
- Candies that stay in the mouth for a long period of time subject the teeth to prolonged acid attack, which increases the risk of cavities!
- Drink more water
- The more water you drink, the more the bacteria is being washed away!
- Inspect all candies for anything that has been tampered with!
Remember the 1-2-3's of good daily oral hygiene!
Floss once a day, brush twice a day, and eat three balanced meals a day!
