Don't Let Candy Scare Away a Great Smile.

We all know that it is very easy to get lost in those bags full of candy during this time of the year. It is important that we remember to continue brushing and flossing after we eat those sugary snacks. Also, please don’t forget to avoid those candies that can do harm to your braces. Remember that bad oral hygiene is much scarier than any witch or goblin could be.
Parents, if you are worried about how much candy your child is eating, it might be a good idea to ration it over the course of a few weeks. Doing this will help avoid cavities and tummy aches.

If you have any questions about how to keep your smile looking great, feel free to contact Rampton and Defay Orthodontics.
