While we are excited for minimal dental emergencies from Halloween candy, we are also mindful of what comes with Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ribbon candy, peanut brittle, all the different types of popcorn, and the classic candy cane. These are all just some of the culprits that cause dental issues this time of year. Take a candy cane for example, while this delicious minty holiday classic is iconic, its main ingredient is sugar. Sugar + teeth do not play nice with one another. While you sit there enjoying a candy cane, we know that those sugars will spread around your gums and teeth, which can cause tooth decay and cavities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We want you to enjoy our sweets while also being mindful to brush and floss consistently, especially during the holiday season.
