How to keep your Child's Teeth Healthy for Halloween!

Dr. Porter wants to help keep your children’s teeth from cavities!  Below, we have some great tips for those Halloween treats your child may be getting this holiday!

As soon as your child gets home, sort through the candy. Remove the candy they don’t really like. Once the good candy is gone they will move on to the not so favorite candy- so get rid of it! The most frightening candy to a kid’s teeth is sour gummy candy. Not only is it sugary and sticky but the sour flavoring is acidic which is the worse combination for anyone’s teeth.  Kid’s with braces need to remove these orthodontic nightmares from their pile which consist of caramels, hard candy, bubblegum, taffy, licorice, candy apples and popcorn.

Don’t let the bags of candy disappear. Kids love to keep their Halloween candy and goodies in their bedroom.  This is a big NO-NO. Grazing on candy all day and before bedtime is a cavity waiting to happen. Keep candy where parents can keep an eye on it.

Spread it out. Take Halloween candy and put it in smaller bags giving it to kids weekly.  They can prolong the Halloween holiday and not have so much candy at once.

No Halloween candy in school lunchboxes! Kids usually get enough sugar at school with fruit juices and sports drinks and then they don’t brush until bedtime. That’s at least 8 hours of sugar just sitting on their teeth. This is SCARIER than HALLOWEEN! 

Hope these tips from Dr. Edwin Porter’s Office has given you some ideas on how to keep your kid’s teeth healthier during the busiest candy holiday of the year!  Remember, not only is Dr. Porter a Cosmetic dentist, we also focus on ALL ages.  We complete fillings and cleanings on the little ones and dentures and partials for the older patients.  Come in and see what Dr. Porter is all about!  704-544-5330 or Office@DentistryinCharlotte.com
