Think about the different types of candies out there. Let’s compare taffy with a square of dark chocolate. When you eat the taffy, it is incredibly sticky. It can saturate your teeth because it is so tacky, it may wrap itself around or stick to dental work, and you will feel it stuck on your smile with your tongue. Now, for the dark chocolate. As you eat it, it quickly melts away, leaving barely a trace on your smile. See the difference? Reach for the candy that quickly disappears from your mouth. It’s better for your oral health.
When you don’t have any option for dental hygiene but you’ve just eaten or sipped on a sugar-filled beverage, remember that you have options. First, rinsing with water is always a good plan. Simply drinking a glass will help. Then, of course, chewing on a stick of sugarless gum for 20 to 30 minutes is wonderful at protecting your oral health.
Have you not seen a dentist for a very long time? The statement “better late than never” always applies. No matter how long it’s been, please come in!
