Not all sweet treats are created equal when it comes to how harmful they are for your oral health. Although no candy is genuinely good for your teeth, it’s important to realize that some candy is considerably worse for teeth than others. Dark chocolate is one of the best choices because it washes away easily, but sticky candies like caramels love to hang around and cause cavities. Moderation and smart choices are the key to tackling your sugar cravings. Which is your favorite candy? Let’s hear it below! ⬇️
