It’s Easter season, and that means its time for spring dresses, bunnies, Easter baskets and, you guessed it, candy! It’s virtually impossible to walk through the local grocery store without eying those tantalizing Easter candy favorites, such as jellybeans, Peeps and chocolate bunnies.
This year when stocking your Easter baskets with treats, keep in mind that sugar is a leading cause of tooth decay in both children and adults. Too much candy over an extended period of time can cause cavities and other dental problems.
Grove Dental wants to help you enjoy the Easter season while minimizing your family’s risk of tooth decay that comes with candy overload. Here are a few tips for creating a fun, tooth-friendly Easter basket the whole family can enjoy.
- Don’t include hard candies and suckers that linger in the mouth and promote decay by constantly exposing the teeth to sugar.
- Leave out jellybeans and other soft, chewy candies that can dislodge sealants or fillings and are harder to remove from the tooth’s surface.
- Pack baskets with healthy alternatives, such as fruit or sugar-free candies and gum.
- Chocolate candies are also good choices in moderation, as chocolate melts quickly in the mouth, which minimizes the amount of time teeth are exposed to the sugar.
- Substitute candy with games, such as coloring books or outdoor toys for the warmer weather, including bubbles and sidewalk chalk. Throw in a fun toothbrush as a great way to promote good dental health!
You and your family can still enjoy the Easter season and keep your smiles healthy. Moderation is the key. Limit the amount of candy you and your child consume each day. Don’t graze on candy throughout the day; instead eat it in one sitting to reduce your mouth’s exposure to the harmful acids. And if you must indulge, then brush your teeth immediately afterward.
