But how can you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/childrens-dentistry.html\">protect your child\u2019s teeth<\/a> from the terrors of these sweet treats? After all, moderation will only get you so far. If you\u2019re ready to start spooky season but want to reduce your family\u2019s risk of creepy cavities, don\u2019t be scared! Here are the best and worst Halloween candies for your ghoulish grin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Best Sweets for Your Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all candies are created equally. Here are three confectionary categories that are better for your teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chocolate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Chocolate is one of the most popular confections in the world, and rightfully so. That\u2019s because it\u2019s also the best candy for your teeth. While dark chocolate is lower in sugar, milk chocolate is also a safer bet than other sweets, because neither variety sticks to your teeth, harms dental work, and dark chocolate even contains important compounds that may help harden tooth enamel and fight plaque!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Candy with Nuts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Packed with protein and fiber, nuts are good for you whether they\u2019re in candy or not, but when eating something sweet, they can help prevent sticky sugar from attaching to your teeth. Because they\u2019re crunchy, they can also help scrub away plaque while you chew, keeping your teeth cleaner, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sugar Free Sweets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sugar free candies have come a long way over the years. In fact, many of today\u2019s varieties look and taste just like their full-sugar counterparts, and many of today\u2019s artificial newer sweeteners do not cause the same gastrointestinal side effects that some older kinds do. In addition to tasting good, sugar free candy also stimulates saliva production, which rinses away plaque and bacteria in the mouth, protecting your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beware\u2026 The Worst<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know the best treats for keeping your teeth looking and feeling their best this Halloween and beyond, here are a few categories that are downright dangerous!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hard Candies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hard candies like lollipops and drops last a long time, making them popular favorites. Unfortunately, while you\u2019re enjoying all that sweetness, you\u2019re keeping sugar clinging to your teeth for an extended period, feeding those horrible, hungry plaque bacteria and increasing your risk of cavities. Thus, do your best to avoid hard candies, or consume them only in moderation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sticky Sweets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sticky sweets like gummies, caramels, and taffy are soft and pleasant for children to eat, but unfortunately, they can be scary for your smile. That\u2019s because they can get stuck to your teeth and dental work, loosening fillings or braces, and overstaying their welcome and giving harmful bacteria more time to thrive in your mouth. Thus, encourage your child to avoid anything too sticky in their treat bucket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sour Candies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sour candies may pack a pungent punch, but they also can be downright dangerous for the tooth enamel. That\u2019s because the acid that gives it that characteristic flavor can break down this outer coating of the teeth, leaving them brittle and more prone to cavities. Sours are also full of sugar which lingers on your teeth, effectively doubling their potential for damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, with all the goblins, zombies, and ghouls set to wander the streets this spooky season, there\u2019s plenty of reasons to be afraid, but with this helpful guide to the best and worst treats, there\u2019s no reason your oral health should be one of them! Have a safe, happy Halloween, and for an added layer of protection, don\u2019t forget to schedule your child\u2019s preventive dental cleaning and check-up before the year ends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/meet-your-dentists.html\">Advanced Dental Care<\/a>, our team of dedicated dentists are here to help protect the smiles of patients of all ages.
