Candy Scrooges …AYouGov pollfound that 21% of adults pretend not to be home on Halloween so they don’t have to give out any candy. Is this you? Why the Halloween hate?
Speaking of candy...
Not all candies are created equal … especially for your teeth. According to dentists, these aresome of the worst candiesfor your pearly whites:
- Gummy candies and caramels – they get lodged in your teeth.
- Tacky candies like Starbursts – they can pull on crowns and fillings.
- Lollipops – they take longer to eat, which means the longer your teeth are in an “acidic state.”
- Powder candies like Fun Dips and Pixie Sticks – they are extremely acidic
But you don’t have to take all the fun out of Halloween … dentists say chocolate is a better option.
