It's the first week of October and fall fun is upon us. You simply cannot avoid all of the sweet treats fall brings and who would want to! There is a way to keep your child's teeth healthy despite all the sugar. Here are some helpful healthy tips.
- Chew sugar free gum. It's a great way to feel like your enjoying a tree without the guilt.
- Choose chocolate. Chocolate is easier to clean off of teeth because it melts away.
- Avoid hard candy and sticky candy. These cause the most damage to teeth. If they do consume these make sure they drink plenty of water and brush as soon as possible.
- After a few days of Trick or Treat fun have the "Switch Witch" come and swap out the candy for non edible goodies or cash.
Here at The Academy of Gateway we have been talking about our teeth and the importance of keeping our teeth clean. Here the kids are painting their "teeth" clean.
