Spring brings so many joyful moments—egg hunts, family gatherings, and plenty of tasty treats. But while sweets are part of the celebration, they don’t have to lead to cavities. With a few thoughtful choices, your child can enjoy Easter goodies and maintain a healthy, happy smile!
🐣 1. Smile-Safe Sweets
Go for chocolate over sticky candies—chocolate melts quickly and doesn’t stick to teeth like gummy snacks or chewy taffy.
Avoid hard candies like jawbreakers, which can linger on enamel and even cause damage if bitten.
🌼 2. Timing is Everything
Treats are best enjoyed after a meal, when your child’s saliva is working hardest to wash away sugars.
Encourage drinking water between bites—it’s a simple way to rinse the mouth and protect enamel.
🪥 3. Keep That Springtime Routine
Twice-a-day brushing with fluoride toothpaste and daily flossing are still essential—even during holiday fun!
Had something sugary? Wait about 30 minutes before brushing to help safeguard tooth enamel.
🥕 4. Add in Smile-Friendly Snacks
Crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples and carrots help clean teeth as they’re eaten.
Cheese and nuts are packed with minerals that help strengthen teeth and balance mouth acids.
🦷 5. Schedule a Post-Easter Dental Visit
