Dressing up for Halloween is fun. We all know the real star of the day all that candy! According to dentists some candies are much worse for our teeth than others. The candies that do our teeth the most harm are the ones in the gummy and sticky category. Sweet treats like: gummy bears, caramels, starburst and lollipops fall into the worst category. Lollipops because they're not overly sticky but take a long time to finish. The sugar in sticky candies stays on teeth longer and the texture can be rough on crowns
Sour candies are next on the list of worst candies for our teeth. Not because they're sweet but because they're very acidic. The PH balance in our mouth matters when it comes to tooth enamel.
The best candies for our teeth are chocolate candies. We eat them quickly and the chocolate washes away from our teeth easily.
Caramel apples are also a good treat. Yes, the caramel is sticky. The apples then wash the stickiness away and help clean our teeth.
Chocolate and caramel apples are good! That's all I need to know. Who cares about the rest.
