It’s one thing to make the decision to bring candy into your home or to leave it at the grocery store, where you found yourself drooling over it: It’s your decision and, as a result, you have decided whether or not to test your own will power. It’s quite another to stroll into your workplace and to discover that for a month preceding and following Halloween (including during the holiday month itself), there’s candy everywhere. Then, someone brings in Halloween cupcakes. What’s an A+ oral health patient to do about all of this temptation when you know that excess sugar is not a good idea? Never fear. Your Virginia Beach, VA dental team is here.
Just Say No!
Our team hopes you remember that no matter what you’re being offered, sugar included, if it’s something you know you shouldn’t consume, there’s a very easy way to handle the situation: Just say no! Since you’re protecting your oral health but candy is very delicious, you may want to take this a step further: Decide that when it comes to anything at your place of employment, you’re just going to say “no thanks.” That way, there’s no debate over whether to indulge or not.
Bring Your Hygiene Products To Work With You!
Cleaning your smile isn’t just something that you can do at home! Remember that your toothbrush, your toothpaste, and your dental floss are all very portable. There are even travel-size items if you find that toting around your entire arsenal of smile care items is just a bit too much or slightly embarrassing. All that matters is that you have them on hand, so if you find yourself indulging in something sweet and you’re worried about your oral health, you can rinse and then head to the bathroom during a break (where you can brush, floss if necessary, and know your smile is free of sugars and carbs!).
Get Serious About Your Rinsing And Sugarless Gum Game
Of course, the first thing that enters your mind when you’re snacking on candy every day is the fact that you’re not making it any easier to avoid a cavity. No problem. If you enjoy the sweets surrounding you, just remember to rinse with water afterwards. Want more sugar removal? Chew sugarless gum. Done and done.
