A Happy Halloween Starts with Good Oral Health

Making choices to protect the health of you and your family is your number one priority. Remember that Halloween treat binges should still be followed by brushing teeth and flossing before going to bed. Make sure your child drinks plenty of water to stay hydrated and help wash excess sugars and bacteria from their mouth.
