Every holiday season, we here at Northwest Children's Dentistry like to offer advice on how to get your child's teeth through the holidays. Holidays generally bring more sugar into our kids' lives, and that's especially true at Halloween.
We know lots of kids make a pretty good candy haul for Halloween. To keep your child's teeth healthy during this time, remember to brush twice a day and floss daily. We also recommend not having your child eat their entire Halloween candy stash at once. This will not only prevent tummy aches, but can reduce the risk of cavities. Instead, have your child eat only one or two pieces of candy from their stash per day until it is gone.
For the truly inspired, you can also reduce the neighborhood's sugar intake by handing out other treats on Halloween, such as stickers.
As your pediatric dentist in Tucson, we want to help you understand all aspects of your child's dental care. Feel free to call us at (520) 544-8522.
