Enjoy your Halloween treats and keep your smile healthy too!

Here’s how:
- Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
- Spit, don’t rinse. After brushing, spit out the toothpaste but wait 10 to 30 minutes before rinsing, so the fluoride can keep working.
- Have treats with meals. Eating sweets as part of a meal is better than snacking all day. Teeth need breaks to recover.
- Drink plain water after eating. It helps rinse away sugar and acid.
