We all know that Halloween is one of the most awaiting events of the year where kids dress in scary costumes and go door to door, distributing and eating candy. Kids are energetic and happy, but these sugary candies can also be very unhealthy for their dental health. All this sugar can damage the enamel on their teeth and lead to cavities. Hence here are some dental tips to prepare your kid for Halloween.
Not To Consume All The Candies
Avoid eating some of them, which you know maybe the most damaging for your teeth. Leave aside the ones you know have a lot of sugar in them.
Avoid The Stickey Ones
The caramel in sweets can stick to the teeth and slowly and gradually damage the enamel.
Keep An Eye On The Time You Are Eating Candy At
Try eating the candies in the middle of your meals as the saliva helps wash away the sugars. Also, do not consume candies before bedtime, as the sugars will remain on the teeth all night and can be damaging.
Increase Your Water Intake
Your teeth and gums clean up when you drink water, and the more you drink, the cleaner your mouth will be.
How About Some Non-Candy Treat?
You can replace your candies with something else that may be a healthy option and kids might like.
Ever Thought About Donating Your Candy?
This will keep the kids safe and teach them a very good habit of donating candies to those in need.
