 Hello everybody, Andrew Maesky here with dental and mobile hygiene. So Rex is here with me. We're all decked out in our cool Halloween costumes. It was his idea. I think he looks very cool, doesn't he? Not too scary at all. So we want to talk to you guys about Halloween candy, okay? For my patients, you guys know I've probably told you I eat candy too. I do, I eat candy. But there's a better way to do it. So the best thing to do is you want to eat your candy right away and then have water afterwards and then of course brush your teeth. Rex loves his toothbrush. It's nice and big because it can get all the way to the back, the front, the sides, everywhere. The reason why I'm telling you to eat your candy all at once is because let's say you're having a little candy while you're watching a movie. And then 10 minutes later, you have another little candy. Then maybe an hour later after that, you have another candy. Well, every bite of that sugary candy could be causing you a cavity, literally. Whereas if you have all of it at once, it's just that one chance to really cause a cavity. You don't want to get cavities, but sugar is what causes cavities. So you want to limit that as much as possible. Candy, sugar is the worst thing to cause cavities. It can get stuck in there. So that's where the water comes in. Having water afterwards helps to neutralize those acids and those sugars in the mouth. More importantly, as well, of course, after the water, use your toothbrush to get right in there to get that sugar, to get everything out of there. So there's no chance to cause a cavity, hopefully not. So you need to do a good job with the brushing, have lots of water and use a good toothpaste. For my patients, I recommend different toothpaste for everybody because it does depend on your teeth. It depends on if you're cavity prone or not. Depends on if you have acidic saliva and it even depends on if you have thin enamel. So if I have recommended a toothpaste for you, if you've seen me before, definitely use it after you have that water. Make sure to floss and or use the water pick to get that sugar out from in between the teeth and even use a mouthwash. Everything you can to not get a cavity because it's very easy to just keep eating Halloween candy, right? So I hope that helps you guys. Rex says hello and he can't wait to see all of my little patients very soon.
