With Halloween right around the corner, Dr. William H. Panico would like to share some friendly advice to help you and your kids avoid dental decay! Read on to understand how different types of candies can affect your teeth.
Sticky & Gummy Candy – These types of candies are among the most harmful candies you can consume. They stick to your teeth and are much more difficult for saliva to wash away.
Hard Candy – Lollipops and other slow dissolving candies are harmful due to their gradual release of sugar over a long period of time. This increases your risk for tooth decay significantly.
Chocolate – Chocolate is the least harmful to your teeth because it dissolves quickly, and your saliva washes it away the fastest.
To keep your smile bright and healthy this Halloween, be sure to choose your candy wisely, brush twice a day, floss once a day and visit your dentist regularly to prevent any problems from occurring.
Call (609) 886-2277 today to schedule your appointment with Dr. Panico, or visit www.panicodental.com. Dr. Panico is located at 4 Oslo Ave., Rio Grande.
Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
