Your Dentist Versus Your Halloween Candy

By Rey Vetangelo


Are you afraid of going to the dentist? Do you detest the sound of the drills, the gloved hands on your teeth, and the gritty fluoride sliding down your throat? Have no fear, because there is help out there for you. Believe it or not, many people suffer from this same fear.

Check with your local West Jordan dentist to see if you can trade your trick-or-treating spoils in for some cash. Trick-or-treating is exciting and a lot of fun, but selling your candy to a dentist may be a great way to get rid of the candy you do not like or the candy you know you will not be able to get around to eating.

South Jordan dentists wish to remind those in their city and their fellow Utah residence what those basic dental care habits and techniques are. The first and most important is daily brushing of teeth.

Brushing one's teeth at least twice every day is something that most individuals are familiar with but have a harder time following. Making brushing twice daily a habit can be simple if you brush once in the morning and once at night before going to bed.

These specialized dentists can also provide you with sedation options. Some of these options could include hypnosis, nitrous oxide, or Novocaine. Keep in mind that most sedation options are going to be limited to more serious dental work, like wisdom teeth removal or root canals. For a regular dental check-up, you could perhaps take an anti-anxiety pill or practice deep breathing as an alternative.

Avoiding such a wide variety of candies can be frustrating when you are digging through your trick-or-treating bag, but there are some candies that will probably not damage your dental equipment. If it can melt in your mouth, it will be easier on your teeth and any appliances in your mouth.

You will find that dentists are surprisingly understanding about people's fears about visiting the dentists, oftentimes because they have experienced at least a little dentist-related fear themselves. It is important to be honest with yourself and realize how serious your fear is.

A common mistake in this regard is to keep the toothbrush in a closed space or container for storage. Doings so fosters bacteria growth on the toothbrush and the toothbrush should therefore be kept stored in open spaces in an upright position if possible.

As plaque forms on your teeth it weakens the dentin, which protects the pulp of your tooth. A cavity is a result of the dentin decaying and the pulp of your tooth being exposed.

Not only are cavities painful but dental work is also expensive. When you go to have your cavity filled, the final bill from your West Jordan dentist can be a lot to deal with especially if you do not have dental insurance.

Flossing will be made easier for the person as they continue to perform the act daily. With these reminders and tips for how to properly care for your teeth, South Jordan dentists are hopeful that all of their patients can have bright and healthy smiles.
