Valentine’s Day is here! Did you get sweets from your sweetheart? It’s once again time to remind all of our patients to be extra careful when choosing those candies and treats!
All those sweet, sour and sticky candies may taste great, but these treats are known to damage teeth, as well as braces if you’re wearing them! Did you know sour candies can be acidic to your teeth, and actually wear down the enamel that protects them? This can cause tooth decay and cavities! Sour and fruity candy, such as Starburst and Skittles, are the worst for your teeth since these candies have a low pH value, which is known to ruin enamel.
We recommend softer treats, such as soft chocolate or peanut butter cups, or melt-in-your-mouth foods. Those who indulge should make sure they brush and floss between teeth, as well as at the gum line. Make sure to schedule your regular cleaning and check up appointment!
Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at Dr. Erini Redmond’s office
Bad Breath...Yikes, nobody wants it. If you know someone with bad breath or halitosis, a complete dental evaluation is what Dr. Erini recommends. Dental decay or gum disease may be the cause. It can be treated!
