Keeping A Healthy Smile Amidst The Halloween Treats -

Halloween is fast approaching! This exciting holiday gives kids a chance to be imaginative as well as to enjoy their favorite treats! However, keeping a healthy smile is key to a lifetime of strong oral health. Today, we’re going to give you our guide to keeping a healthy smile amidst the Halloween treats! To be clear, we want kids to enjoy Halloween, and we’re not suggesting that you avoid Halloween candy altogether; however, stick to these simple guidelines to enjoy your Halloween candy, and keep a healthy smile at the same time!

Chewy and Sticky Candies

The number one culprit of tooth decay are sticky and chewy candies – this is because they’re so difficult to remove from your tooth surface. If you eat these candies, be sure to brush and floss very diligently after enjoying!

Rinse After Eating

Simply rinsing your mouth with water is a great way to remove access food particles after eating – especially with candy!

Stick to these simply rules to maintain strong oral health through October, and have a Happy Halloween!

Overcoming Dental Anxiety -

Do you or a loved-one suffer from dental anxiety? If so, don’t worry – you’re not alone! Millions of Americans are afraid of going to the dentist, usually due to bad dental experiences in the past. However, the team at Advanced Dental Care is here to let our patients know that there’s no need to be afraid of visiting the dentist, and that dental anxiety can be easily alleviated.

The first and most important step in alleviating dental anxiety is communication. If you have dental anxiety, let your dentist know. Additionally, tell them what exactly scares you about going to the dentist – is it potential pain? A bad dental experience? Needles? Having to get fillings? Having a serious oral health issue? Whatever causes you dental anxiety, be sure to let your dentist know so they can work around these issues as best they can.

The second thing that it’s important for anxious patients to do is select a great dentist – there’s simply no need to be afraid of visiting a great dental office. Do your research before selecting your dentist, including Google and Health Grades reviews. By visiting an office you know will be accommodating and gentle before ever even going in, your dental anxiety will be greatly reduced!
