RICHMOND – With Halloween fast approaching, parents once again fret over their children collecting and consuming too much candy. That’s why Virginia Dental Association (VDA) dentists across the Commonwealth are available to talk about how kids can enjoy the holiday without ruining their teeth.

DID YOU KNOW…

• Children should brush their teeth within 10 minutes of eating Halloween candy to prevent tooth decay?
• Sour candies are some of the worst treats for teeth because they can quickly break down tooth enamel?
• Dark chocolate is good for the heart and could even lower blood pressure?
• VDA dentists are available in your market to discuss the best/worst Halloween candies, what to do with all the “leftover” treats and how to navigate America’s most candy-coated tradition.
