Teeth Maintenance

Assuming that you celebrated Halloween in proper form (that's to say – that Halloween is best celebrated in a frenzied sugar binge of epic tooth-rotting proportion), then I assume your smile could use a little TLC today. So in an effort to help you return your now caramel-coated teeth to their former pearly white, I'll offer you some of my favorite tips for post-Halloween dental hygiene.

  • Of course – the best advice I can offer is – follow your dentist's recommendations. That means - brush, floss, rinse, repeat, until all that candy residue has been cleared out.

  • If all that chocolate has made your teeth overly sensitive, then give yourself an impromptu home-fluoride treatment by smearing your teeth with a thick layer of toothpaste and allowing the stuff to marinate for a while... Sure this probably won't do anything beneficial for your teeth, but it will make you feel like you're treating them well.

  • Caramel is far too sticky to be remove with floss alone. So try dissolving the caramel by drinking any number of hot liquids, such as coffee, tea, or some form of flaming shot of alcohol...

  • And finally – if you used too much glue and the vampire fangs simply will not come out – either remain in your costume until the glue wears off or seek immediately medical attention...
