Dr. Norton says it’s not just about how much sugar children eat, but how often. “The biggest part of cavities is the frequency that you intake sugars,” he explained. “If you can try to have candy around mealtime or with other healthy snacks, that really helps.”
Limit frequency, not just quantity. Try to have candy with meals instead of snacking throughout the day.
Avoid late-night sweets. Saliva flow slows down at night, making it easier for sugar to linger and cause cavities.
Watch out for sticky candies. These tend to cling to teeth and are harder to clean off.
Encourage brushing and flossing. Brush in circular motions and make sure to floss between teeth to remove trapped food.
Dr. Norton says even with all the Halloween candy around, good dental habits can go a long way in preventing toothaches and keeping those smiles bright.
