Not all sweet treats are created equal when it comes to how harmful they are for your oral health. Although no candy is genuinely good for your teeth, it’s important to realize that some candy is considerably worse for teeth than others. Dark chocolate is one of the best choices because it washes away easily, but sticky candies like caramels love to hang around and cause cavities. Moderation and smart choices are the key to tackling your sugar cravings.

True or false: the tooth is the only part of the human body that cannot fully heal itself. This is true! Because it contains no living cells, tooth enamel cannot repair damage from decay or from wear. Only our team can correct these conditions. That's why it's so important to practice good oral hygiene and see us at Carroll Dentistry if you have any concerns.

If you haven’t been to the dentist in over 6 months, this is your wake-up call. The American Dental Association recommends regular dental checkups and cleanings to maintain oral health and prevent dental problems. The frequency of visits may vary depending on individual factors, but individuals with healthy gums and teeth should generally visit Carroll Dentistry every 6 months. Individuals with a history of gum disease, cavities, or other oral health issues may need more frequent visits. Schedule your next appointment here 315-474-4232.

If you frequently reach for a piece of gum after a meal, you may be surprised to learn that you might actually be helping your teeth. Let's chew on this: while sugary gum is a definite no-no, sugar-free gum can have some perks. It stimulates saliva production, which helps neutralize acids and wash away food particles. It can also help prevent cavities by removing food particles from the surfaces of your teeth. Look for gums with xylitol for added cavity-fighting power. 💪

It's common advice to always brush your teeth right after eating. This is actually a myth! 🙅

It's better to wait a bit after eating acidic foods (like citrus fruits or soda). After eating acidic foods, your tooth enamel temporarily softens, and brushing right away can wear away this weakened enamel. It's best to rinse your mouth with water to help neutralize acids and freshen your breath. Wait 30 minutes before brushing your teeth.
