Choosing Dental FriendlyHalloween Candy

YOUR DENTALHEALTH PARTNERS

Sugar-free Lollipops

Sugar-free lollipops and hard candies can stimulate saliva and prevent dry mouth. A dry mouth allows plaque to build up on teeth, which can lead to

an increased risk of cavities.

Sugar-free Chewing Gum

Sugar-free chewing gum can actually prevent cavities, not only will it help dislodge food particles from between the teeth, it will also increase saliva

production in your mouth.

Dark Chocolate

Dark Chocolates are loaded with sugar, but some studies have shown that the antioxidants in dark chocolate can be good for the heart and

may even lower blood pressure.

Time is of the Essence

Not all sugary sweets are created equally scary. Just remember that when it comes to sugar and its effects on your teeth, time is of the essence. For good oral hygiene at Halloween, brush, floss, and try not to overindulge.

Happy Halloween!
