Trick or Treat Without the Cavities

1. Make sure to brush teeth twice a day for two minutes. Many kids’ toothbrushes have automatic lights or sounds that will alert you to when the time is up.

2. Encourage flossing before bed. Simple kid-friendly floss is easy for little hands and makes a huge difference on really getting between teeth to keep their gums healthy.

3. Use a child-friendly mouthwash. Children as young as six can begin a nightly fluoride rinse. This will help get any extra food off the teeth while also giving them additional fluoride to help prevent cavities.

Enjoy a safe, happy Halloween filled with lots of treating and brushing!
