We all know is that sugar is the enemy of your teeth because it eats away at the protective coating (called enamel) that surrounds the tooth. The more sugar you have in your mouth, the more your enamel is eaten away.
This is especially true on and after Halloween when our kids are overdosing on candy as well as other kind of sweets. Still, if your kids are going to eat lots of candy there is still some advice they can take to minimize the damage they will do to;
"Don't keep grazing (for sugar) during the day," suggests Caron Nelson, a dentist in Duvall, Wash. "If you are going to eat sugar, get it done quickly. Don't eat something that will sit in your mouth for a long time."
Now that's some sweet advice we can all swallow.
