The 411 on Halloween treats, from My Dentists

happy halloween Pictures, Images and Photos

For our patients concerned about going overboard on candies this weekend, sugar and other sweets, this post is just for you!

Our entire team at My Dentists will tell you all those sweet, sour and sticky candies may taste great, but these treats are known to damage teeth! Did you know sour candies can be acidic to your teeth, and actually wear down the enamel that protects them? Candies like Starburst and Skittles are the worst for your teeth since these candies have a low pH value, which is known to ruin enamel.

We encourage you to try and limit the amount of these candies you eat this evening, and when you do eat them, either rinse your mouth with water afterward or drink a glass of milk or eat a slice of cheese.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
