Think
twice before you devour that candy!
Are
you snacking on some Sour Patch Kids right now? Maybe munching on a Mr.
Goodbar? Have you ever wondered what those temptingly tasty treats might
be doing to your teeth? The truth is, all of the sugar in candy wreaks havoc on
your oral health. The worst types are sticky candy or any kind that
stays in the mouth for long periods of time (I’m looking at you Jolly Ranchers).
So, if you are having a craving for candy, something sugar-free is best and if
you can’t brush immediately be sure to rinse your mouth several times with
water! Even dentists have to satisfy that sweet tooth once in a while (in fact, I
LOVE chocolate).
