Children get excited about it, but so do adults. After all, who doesn\u2019t like a little candy from time to time?<\/p>\n<p>As fun as <b>Halloween<\/b> is, though, it\u2019s important to remember how sugar affects teeth. While sugar itself doesn\u2019t cause cavities, the interaction between sugar and certain bacteria does. When these two mix, they create an acidic environment that encourages decay and cavities. Children are especially at risk, because they\u2019re just learning to brush.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, with the products offered by <a href=\"http:\/\/carifree.com\/patient\/home.html\">CariFree<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clintontownshipfamilydental.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Dr. Salzberg-Siegel<\/a> can help patients of all ages enjoy better protection from bacteria and decay. <b>CariFree<\/b> is an innovative system designed to stop tooth decay before it starts.<\/p>\n<p><b>How Does CariFree work?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>CariFree<\/b> works by promoting remineralization. When our teeth decay, the protective layer of enamel on the outside weakens. Remineralization is about strengthening enamel with the minerals it needs to stand up against bacteria and acid.<\/p>\n<p>During your family\u2019s visits to our <b>Clinton Township<\/b> office, we can determine you and your child\u2019s risk for decay with a quick, painless test. First, we\u2019ll swab your teeth to collect a small amount of plaque. Looking at your sample will help us determine how many cavity-causing bacteria are in your mouth. If you or your child has a high level of bacteria or is at risk for developing a cavity, <b>Dr. Salzberg-Siegel<\/b> will recommend a treatment plan with one or more <b>CariFree<\/b> products, plus nutritional advice. We may even recommend a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clintontownshipfamilydental.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">general<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clintontownshipfamilydental.com\/restorative-dentistry.html\">restorative<\/a> dental service.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we want our patients to have a good time on <b>Halloween<\/b>, so don\u2019t feel guilty about enjoying a few pieces of candy\u2014just remember to brush and floss afterwards. You may also want to substitute traditional candy for candy sweetened with <a href=\"http:\/\/xylitol.org\/\">xylitol<\/a>. This naturally-occurring sweetener doesn\u2019t react with bacteria the way normal sugar does. As a result, your family and your friends in the community can still have fun this <b>Halloween<\/b> without putting your oral health at risk.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to have your family tested for cavities and bacteria before or after <b>Halloween<\/b>? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clintontownshipfamilydental.com\/\">Call<\/a> <b>Dr. Salzberg-Siegel\u2019s Clinton Township<\/b> office for an appointment. We serve patients from <b>Sterling Heights<\/b>, <b>Macomb<\/b>, <b>Shelby Township<\/b>, and all surrounding areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Halloween is just weeks away.
