Halloween may be over, but with all those leftover stashes
of candy lying around the true terror may just be beginning. With no shortage
of sugary sweets for you to indulge in, early November can be a terrifying
time for your teeth. As a top dentist in
Bakersfield and the surrounding area, at Kern Dental Specialties, we’re
well aware of both the temptations and repercussions of the Halloween candy
binge, and now is a perfect time for you to think about your teeth before you
open that next wrapper.
First and foremost know this: enjoying a little candy is
more than okay. Problems arise when a little goes to a lot, and then lands
somewhere around overindulgence. The issue with Halloween candy is the sheer
volume of sugar that we’re all bombarded with which of course tempts us to
binge because it feels appropriate to do so. Still, exposing yourself to that
much sugar, all at once, definitely isn’t good for your body, and it’s not
great for your teeth either. Remember, that candy isn’t going to go bad any
time soon. Take your time!
It’s no coincidence that dentists see a spike in patients
during the Halloween season. Few things can reveal dental issues quicker than a
nice big bite into a sugary nugget. If you do discover you have dental problems,
it’s always best to get them resolved sooner rather than later. For Bakersfield
dental implants Kern Dental is a top choice for quality treatment. For a root canal
Bakersfield residents rely on, our gentle treatment is well trusted for
stress-free care that minimizes pain and discomfort. We’re standing by to offer
the care you need!
