Keep Your Fangs Sharp and Healthy with Great Oral Hygiene!


Ghosts. Ghouls. Spooks. Witches. Draculas. Each is a frightening beast that you'll no doubt come across on this most eerie of nights. However, at Hamlin Dental Group, we want you to remember that there's more than creepy spirits going bump in the night to be afraid of during the Halloween season.

November is a busy time of year at our gentle family dentistry facility, and after a night of trick-or-treating, it should be no surprise why. All those chocolates, sweets and sugary candies can lead to seriously scary tooth decay and cavities long after the jack-o-lanterns have been put away in favor of turkeys and stuffing. To make sure your mouth is prepared for next month's holiday feast, we want to remind you to be extra careful to avoid cavities from Halloween candy.

Cavities are permanently damaged areas in the hard surface of your teeth that create tiny holes. If cavities go untreated, they get harder to treat, and can lead to serious long-term issues. So what's a trick-or-treat enthusiast to do? Practice good oral hygiene! Regular visits to our team at Hamlin Dental Group and brushing and flossing daily can go a long way toward protecting your teeth. So enjoy your scary night, and keep hygiene in mind with Hamlin Dental Group.
