What to watch out when you are out eating candies (Post halloween version :))

.
.
Everyone knows that the candies are bad for your teeth for many reasons. However, if you absolutely HAVE to have candies in your life, or have kids who just cannot live without candies, here are few things to consider.

.

.
1. Sour candies: The more sour it is, the stronger acidity and its ability to weaken your teeth!

2. Frequency: It is not about the amount of candies you eat that give you cavities, but rather how frequent you eat them. Minimize the contact time between your teeth and candies.

3. Sticky candies: If you have any dental fillings or crowns, they are not made to resist strong “pulling” force which can occur with sticky candies and fall out. So be careful!
