I’ve been to this facility quite a few times now and I have to say they are the absolute best in the business! They are thoughtful, they are competent – they are just fantastic and to say that about a dentist that really means something! You always get a friendly face, they make it as painless as possible and I can’t think of any other place I would go For any kind of dental work.

Easter is a candy-filled celebration, but it’s also a great time to practice some sweet tooth smarts. While it’s okay to enjoy your favorite treats, being mindful of your candy choices can help you avoid cavities and keep your smile healthy all season long.
Candies That Can Harm
Sticky and chewy sweets like jelly beans, taffy, and caramel eggs are the most harmful to your teeth. They tend to get lodged in hard-to-clean areas, allowing sugar to sit on your enamel and feed decay-causing bacteria. Sour candies are also a concern due to their high acid content, which can weaken enamel and increase sensitivity.
Better Easter Treats
Solid chocolate is a safer option—especially dark chocolate, which typically contains less sugar and melts quickly in the mouth. Chocolate-covered almonds or peanut butter eggs are other tooth-friendly picks that don’t stick around long enough to do damage.
Simple Tips for a Healthier Holiday
Eat candy after meals when saliva production is at its peak, helping to neutralize acids and rinse away sugars. Rinse your mouth with water afterward, and be sure to brush and floss before bed. Most importantly, limit snacking on candy throughout the day to minimize sugar exposure.
A few thoughtful choices and healthy habits can go a long way. Protect your smile by practicing sweet tooth smarts this Easter and beyond.
