Did you know it is actually better to eat your daily allowance of Halloween treats in one sitting rather than snacking throughout the day? It’s even better to eat them right after a meal. This lowers the number of acid attacks and decreases the chance of cavities.

Water is one way to keep your teeth healthy after sugary treats. It washes away bacteria and food particles.

Choose your treats carefully. Try to stay away from sweets that last long such as hard candies and chewy treats that stick to your teeth.

Plan wisely, If you know you are going to have that chocolate bar in an hour, stay away from sugary drinks. Limit your acid and sugar intake if you want to indulge later!

Remember that proper brushing 2 times a day and cleaning in-between your teeth are the best defense against cavities!
