We love Halloween fun, but we love your sweet smiles even more! To keep cavities away, let’s play a game of Candy Match:
- The Good Guys (Melters): Plain chocolate! Did you know chocolate melts quickly without leaving a gooey mess behind on your teeth?
- The Bad Guys (Stickies): Gummy, sour, and sticky candies. They hide in the deep grooves of your chewing surfaces and try to cause cavities!
The Smile Squad Plan:
- Sort your bag and separate the chocolate.
- Ditch the sticky, gummy treats (we recommend donating them to a local food bank!).
- Enjoy your chocolate treats in moderation for a few days.
- Defeat the sugar bugs by brushing and flossing twice a day, especially before bed!
Fun Fact: Dr. Priya’s favorite Halloween candy is M&M’s.
