Candy and their affect on your dental health
SUMMARY: Halloween is a fun but potentially harmful time for dental health due to excessive candy consumption. Local dentist Dr. Ivís Hernandez highlights that she frequently sees adults in her office post-Halloween, often due to issues caused by indulging in their children‘s candy. Sticky and hard candies, like caramel and gummy bears, are especially notorious for damaging teeth. In contrast, chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, is a safer option as it dissolves quickly without sticking. Dr. Hernandez emphasizes the importance of good dental hygiene practices—such as brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits—to mitigate risks associated with sugary treats.
