It has been a few weeks since Halloween.
The ADB team bets there is a lot of left over candy & chocolate treats.
Chances are your children have been feasting on them every day since and the sugar rush must be driving you crazy.
Tooth scary story
Like a spooky ghost story, Halloween lollies & treats haunt our teeth. We all know eating too many treats can lead to tooth decay.
Did you know what happens right after eating or drinking it sugary treats?.
Our mouth becomes home for several hundred different types of bacteria, and we could have thousands or millions of them living on the surface of each tooth. Most of these are actually good bacteria that help prevent diseases.
These good bacteria are like soldiers on a battlefield, ever ready to fight against disease-producing germs that try to come through our mouth. They’re our first line of defence against harmful microbes that may try to attack our immune system.
Spooky enough, bad bacteria are also present in our mouth. Bad bacteria turns carbohydrates into acids and enzymes. The ugly truth about acids and enzymes is that they dissolve the tooth enamel. Causing tooth decay.
Over time, they filter into the tooth destroying the bone holding it in place, resulting in pain, infection, and ultimately potential tooth loss.
How to prevent tooth decay and loss
Consuming food and drinks that are low in sugar promotes good oral health.
Most children do love cakes, lollies, chocolate and ice creams, right? Sugary treats are okay from time to time and in moderation.
