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!
