 Fall is a great time of year. The leaves on the trees change colors, and beautiful, bright orange pumpkins with and without various facial expressions are all over the place. Aside from having a decorating party with the kids, it's a great idea to take advantage of the oral health benefits that pumpkin seeds contain. They are a great alternative to foods with a lot of acids or sugar that you find yourself quick to grab and consume on the go. Pumpkins themselves are chock full of health benefits, nutriments, and minerals. All of which is a great boost on your mouth, gums, and teeth, when you consume it correctly. That means avoiding the pumpkin flavored sweets and stick with the unprocessed and organic form.
