It's almost that time of year when candy abounds at every corner! Whether you are going door-to-door trick or treating, attending a party dressed in a clever, silly or scary costume, or attending a church Harvest Festival, our team at Thomas Family Dentistry want you to keep in mind the following tips from our friends at the American Dental Association to help reduce tooth-decay!- EAT TREATS WITH MEALS. Saliva production increases during meals washing out food particles and helping to neutralize cavity causing plaque acid.
- CONSIDER CHEWING ADA ACCEPTED SUGARLESS GUM AFTER MEALS. Certain sugarless gums have earned the ADA Seal of Acceptance for scientifically proving that chewing gum for 20 minutes after meals helped prevent tooth decay.
- FOLLOW THE 1-2-3's OF GOOD DAILY ORAL HYGIENE: Floss once a day, brush for two minutes twice a day and eat three balanced meals a day.
- VISIT THOMAS FAMILY DENTISTRY FOR REGULAR CHECK-UPS.
Have a great, safe and happy Holliday Season this Fall!
God Bless,
