At Dilber Sraon DDS, we’re celebrating Dental Hygiene Awareness Month just in time for Halloween—a season full of spooky fun and sweet treats. While candy is tempting, it’s also a great time to focus on your oral health!

Here are some simple tips to keep your smile scarily healthy this Halloween:

1. Brush After Treats: With Halloween candy around, make sure you’re brushing twice a day for at least two minutes, especially after indulging in sweets. Use fluoride toothpaste to fight off sugar-related cavities!
2. Floss Away the Frights: Don’t let sticky candy hang around! Floss daily to remove plaque and candy bits hiding between your teeth.
3. Moderate the Candy Munching: Choose tooth-friendly Halloween treats like dark chocolate (which melts quickly) over sticky or hard candies that cling to teeth.
4. Visit Your Dentist: October is the perfect time to schedule your check-up and cleaning. A professional cleaning will remove tartar buildup and help your teeth stay strong—no tricks, just treats!

Remember, while Halloween is full of fun, too much candy can lead to cavities. But with good dental habits, you can enjoy the season without the scares of tooth decay. Celebrate Dental Hygiene Awareness Month with us by keeping your smile bright and healthy all month long.
