Beware of sugary candy and sweets
Halloween is a kid’s dream come true and a dentist’s worst nightmare. The overload of sugary candy and treats screams tooth decay.
Many dentists put their own spin on goodies for trick-or-treaters by offering candy buy-back programs or handing out toothbrushes in lieu of sugary treats.
The bacteria in dental plaque use sugar to form acids that eat away at protective tooth enamel, which leads to cavities and decay. Parents and guardians also can help promote the oral health message by teaching kids to keep their teeth and gums healthy with daily brushing and flossing. And make sure Halloween stays a special treat by keeping excessive candy eating from turning into a year-round habit.
