It’s that time of year again! Halloween is right around the corner, and if you and your kids are like most, dressing up in costumes and parading from house to house looking for sweet treats is an event you cannot miss. However, too much of a “good” thing can ultimately lead to unhealthy smiles and upset tummies. To avoid the potential for sugar overload this time of year, here are three tips to help you and your kids maintain optimal oral health even while enjoying a few pieces of your favorite Halloween candy.

At Elmbrook Family Dental, we always want our patients to be aware of updates as they occur. Today is just one of those days, and we’re very excited to announce the addition of Dr. Patrick Clancy! Before we get into his introduction, we do want to remind everyone that Dr. McGinn will be seeing patients only at the Executive Drive location starting on November 1st. Meanwhile, Dr. Clancy will be seeing patients exclusively at the North Barker Road location. With that said, we hope you’ll take a moment to learn a bit more about Dr. Clancy ahead of your next appointment! Dr. Clancy has always believed that dentistry is a two-way street. Not only is building dedicated relationships with his patients incredibly important to him, but it’s one of his favorite aspects of the job! Through this approach to care, you can expect far more relaxing appointments and a more enjoyable experience overall.
