Halloween is just around the corner, which for most children means free candy bags and the opportunity to store a stock of sweets for the winter. It’s not a surprise, Halloween can create several health and safety challenges for parents.
Halloween is accompanied by ghosts, goblins and sweets, and if you’re not careful, the sugar in these treats can do unwanted tricks on your teeth.
No one can deny that costumes and sweets make anyone crazy, especially the little ones in the house who love sweets on Halloween but, you know that every year, a family with children spends around $6,000 in sweets that ends up in the teeth of children between 5-14 years.
Instead of gummies, candies or palettes, give the children candies that disappear quickly like chocolate and clear; Before going to bed, make sure the child brushes his teeth and flosses.
Or if you miss me and we have time without seeing each other; do not listen to me, give your children all the candy they want on Halloween, and I’ll see you soon!
