A SWEET WAY TO GET RID OF HALLOWEEN CANDY

Redwood Smiles is excited to host a Halloween Candy Buy-Back Program from November 1–3. Kids can trade in their extra candy for $1 per pound, and all donations will be sent to troops through Blue Star Moms.

How the Holidays Affect Your Teeth

The holidays often lead to increased sugar intake, stress, and disrupted routines, all of which can negatively impact your dental health. Consuming sugary treats throughout the day provides bacteria with a constant food source, leading to enamel-eroding acids. Additionally, stress can contribute to teeth grinding and jaw pain. To protect your smile, limit sugary snacks, maintain your oral hygiene routine, and manage stress effectively.
