It's Halloween week and, of course, there are always a lot of sweets to go with this holiday. Dr. Arash Ravanbakhsh from Inglewood Family Dental spoke with Spectrum News 1 to give his opinion about candy and how people can protect their teeth from sugar.
After eating candy:
- Rinse your mouth out with water
- Wait 30-40 minutes to brush your teeth
- Avoid brushing right away because the candy increases acid in your mouth and brushing at that time could cause increased enamel erosion
