If you want to leave their children enjoy Halloween with minimal damage to their teeth, they gorge on their candy in one sitting, rather than rationing out, say dentists in the U.S.one giant sitting does less damage to teeth and leads to fewer potential cavities than a small ration every couple of hours.
The likelihood of cavities becoming a problem in our mouths depends on the pH balance - the more acidic it is, the worse for teeth.
The worst thing you can do for your child's teeth is give them one candy now, another an hour later, then another an hour after that, etc., throughout the day, Helpin said.
Make sure your children brush their teeth after eating candy,Swapping sweets for pretzels does not help reduce cavity risk,
