For our patients concerned about going overboard on candies this weekend, sugar and other sweets, this post is just for you!Dr. Gilleran and Dr. Van Fossen, as well as our entire staff 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.
With Halloween just two days away, we encourage you to try and limit the amount of these candies that you eat, 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. If you have any questions over the weekend, ask us on Facebook!
We hope everyone has a fun, safe and scary Halloween!
