October is here, and that means spooky costumes, trick-or-treating, and lots of sugar!
While Halloween is a fun and exciting time – especially for kids
It’s also the season when tooth decay can sneak up like a ghost in the night!

What Happens When You Eat Too Much Candy?
When you eat sugary snacks often (especially sticky or hard candies), the sugar stays on your teeth and feeds bacteria. The bacteria create acid, which can damage your enamel and cause cavities.

How to Protect Your Teeth This Halloween:
Enjoy sweets in moderation – A little is fine, but don’t snack on candy all day.
Drink water after eating candy – It helps rinse away sugar.
Avoid sticky or sour candies – These cling to teeth or are very acidic.
Brush and floss after enjoying a treat – Especially before bed!
Visit your dentist regularly – We’ll help keep your smile healthy and bright!

Have a safe and happy Halloween from all of us at Bulleen Plaza Dental.
Your smile is too precious to be scared of cavities!
