Halloween is one of the sweetest times of the year—literally. Between trick-or-treating, parties, and leftover candy bowls, sugar intake skyrockets for kids and adults. But those fun-size treats leave behind more than just wrappers—they can feed cavity-causing bacteria that cling to your teeth long after the season ends.
🍬 The Real Scare: Sugar and Cavities
Sticky, chewy, and sour candies are the biggest troublemakers. They cling to enamel, feed bacteria, and create acid that causes cavities. Even chocolate—the “safer” choice—can do damage if eaten often throughout the day.
Pro Tip: If you indulge, do it with meals (more saliva = more protection) and rinse with water right after.
🎃 Why A Post-Halloween Dental Cleaning Matters
A professional cleaning does more than make your smile sparkle. It helps:
