Keep your #Halloween candy as a #treat, not a snack! Snacking on #candy can increase your risk of #cavities. Those sugars sit on your #teeth throughout the day and eat away at your #enamel. Make sure to keep your Halloween candy put away and grab a piece or two as a treat after a meal rather than eating it throughout the day. #wellnesswednesday #dentalhealth #bayareadentalspecialists

#Scare away Halloween candy #cavities this weekend! Steer clear of anything sour. The acid in sour candies is extremely harmful to #toothenamel and causes it to breakdown quickly. #tiptuesday #halloween #dentalhealth #bayareadentalspecialists

Accidents can happen to anyone! In case of an emergency, here are a couple of things you can do! For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist at all times while you're on your way to the dentist.
