It may not seem like it just yet, but we are officially in the busy holiday season, and it can be challenging to enjoy seasonal treats without jeopardizing your oral health. Sugar promotes decay by increasing the bacteria in your mouth and the amount of acid produced.
For patients with cavities, it's essential to maintain your oral hygiene routine. This means you should brush and floss thoroughly every day, limit the number of sweets, and see your dentist regularly for checkups.
Signs such as sensitivity or pain in the teeth indicate that you may have a cavity. If you’re facing any of these challenges, it's important to schedule an appointment with your dentist. While it may not always be an emergency, it’s better to get it checked out before it leads to one, especially if the pain is severe and keeps you awake at night.
We hope you have a wonderful Halloween and start to your holiday season!
