Kids- Enjoy your Halloween candy and still protect your teeth

Your children can enjoy some treats for Halloween and still avoid sugar-related decay. A good rule of thumb regarding Halloween candy comsumption would be:

• Limit the amount you let your kids eat, or "take inventory" of their Halloween candy.
• Limit the frequency you allow your children to comsume sweets. Exposure time to the teeth, not necessarily amount, is more important.
• Brush as soon as possible after snacking

Of course sugar free snacks are less likely to cause cavities. Have a happy and safe Halloween!
