Unfortunately, it is a dangerous time of year for our beautiful teeth. The amount of sugary treats, beverages and candy consumed this month is a lot for our teeth to handle. Follow the tips below and you’ll have better chances of a healthier smile!

5 Dental Tricks and Tips to Get You Through The Halloween Season:

BEWARE of how frequently you are snacking on sugary treats.

Eating candy more frequently is bad for your teeth. Dr. Simon recommends a post Halloween party where everyone eats all they want in one sitting instead of saving it to snack on for weeks.

Don’t be SCARED to bring veggies and fruits to the party!

Everyone brings candy and sweet deserts, but veggies and fruits are always left out. Find fun, creative ways to dress up vegetables that make eating them fun. This way you can include healthy foods in the mix of all the sugar!
