Truth: When it comes to sugar, "moderation is key."
Roberts posts TikTok reactions to sweets and desserts all the time, because she said it's a way to show people it's OK to eat sweets in moderation. The "dental hygienist tries Skittles!" hook draws people in; once they're watching, "then I can explain to them, if you eat it too frequently, that's when you get cavities." She wants to show that, yep, dental hygienists eat sugar and drink coffee, too, and they keep their teeth white and healthy by using good oral hygiene.
It's all about balance, and Roberts is also realistic and empathetic about what her viewers are going through right now. "People do not have to be too strict with themselves, especially during a quarantine," she explained. "You have to be cautious and not overdo it, but don't deprive yourself."
