With that said, you\u2019re in luck; smiles don\u2019t need to be scary on Halloween. You can adopt good dental habits when October 31<sup>st<\/sup> arrives, ensuring your grin remains strong and vibrant. As for which ones, let your Chevy Chase dentist share four great examples in this helpful summary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Picky About Candy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once Halloween rolls around, you shouldn\u2019t just carelessly indulge in sweet treats. Be picky about any candy you have amidst your fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, avoid sticky and hard candies. The former are among the worst foods for your smile, clinging to your teeth and eroding their enamel. Hard candies are \u201chardly\u201d any better; biting them can often result in a chipped or cracked tooth. Instead, consider having some chocolate that washes off your teeth more easily. (Dark chocolate would be ideal, as it has less sugar.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chew Dentist-Approved Gum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it isn\u2019t required that you have Halloween candy. You can always chew dentist-approved gum as a more smile-friendly alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Current research shows sugarless gum can be good for your grin. By chewing some for 20 minutes after a meal, you\u2019d increase your mouth\u2019s saliva levels and wash out food debris. The result would be a greatly reduced risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drink Plenty of Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan to enjoy Halloween treats, remember to drink plenty of water. Doing so will keep your smile relatively safe for the holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget that water is sugar-free and the ideal material for oral rinses. When you drink enough of it, the liquid will moisten your tongue, limit the growth of harmful bacteria, and rinse out leftover sugar. Such effects are nothing to sneeze at, as they\u2019ll make cavities much less likely for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brush &amp; Floss Before Bed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As busy and exciting as Halloween can be, you mustn\u2019t neglect your oral care. You should still brush and floss before bed that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, twice-daily brushing and once-daily flossing are crucial to good oral health. They remove plaque and harmful debris from your smile, resulting in a lower risk of tooth decay and gum disease. It follows that you should maintain these habits after a night of trick-or-treating or sweet-eating. That way, your Halloween probably won\u2019t result in a dental emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since smiles don\u2019t need to be scary on Halloween, make sure to use the tricks above. They\u2019ll keep your grin strong and healthy for spooky season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avantdentistry.com\/\">Avant Dentistry<\/a> is based in Chevy Chase, MD.
