🍬 Halloween Candy & Your Smile: Tips for Protecting Teeth 🎃
Halloween is one of the sweetest times of the year—but it can also be scary for your teeth! Sticky caramels, sour candies, and hard sweets all linger in the mouth longer, feeding bacteria that cause cavities.
Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is usually a better choice because it melts quickly and rinses away more easily.
🎃 Pro Tips for Parents & Kids:
✅ Pick candy “snack times” instead of grazing all day.
✅ Rinse with water after sweets to wash away sugar.
✅ Always brush and floss before bed on Halloween night.
With a few simple habits, your family can enjoy the spooky fun and keep smiles healthy.
