Salt Lake City Dentist Buys Back Halloween Candy

Halloween is quickly approaching. If you’re like me you wonder what to do with all that candy. In our house we let the kids eat as much as they want in 24 hours and then we throw the rest out. I know of others that include a piece of candy in their child’s lunch each day. As for Halloween candy and cavities the key is to limit in between meal snacking on sugary and sticky foods. If candy is consumed at meal-time, it’s ok. If candy is consumed in a week long-binge of between meal snacking, it will probably be ok. But, if candy and other sugary and sticky foods and beverages are consumed between meals, week after week, and month after month, you will increase your risk for cavities.
