Halloween is a great time of the year for everyone, both young and old. However, it is not a great time for your teeth. Here are five of the worst types of Halloween candies for your teeth. Gummy Bears Gummy candy is probably one of the worst Halloween candies for your teeth, according to dentists. This is because it sticks to your teeth and has to be chewed much more than other candy. This means the sugar is in contact with your teeth for a longer period of time. Caramel Candies Like gummy bears, caramels are sticky and take a long time to dissolve. Starbursts Tacky candies like Starburst can pull on crowns and fillings and act as sugar bombs. These can hang out in the hard-to-reach crevices of your teeth until they finally dissolve. Lollipops Lollipops may not be sticky, but they do take a while to finish meaning prolonged acidity that can wear on teeth. Sugar-Free Candy Candies and gum made with the sugar alternative xylitol often still contain citric acid.
