The haul of sweet treats dished during trick-or-treating is regarded as a dentistry fright fest.

And while they know they should be thinking of their children’s teeth, few parents would say no to candy on Halloween – at least not without a mutiny on their hands.

So it’s worth knowing that some sugary treats are ‘less worse’ than others, according to a pediatric dentist. 

Dr Mary Hayes, based in Chicago, reveals the process of decay peaks within 20 minutes of eating a sugary snack and the results linger there for hours after. This can lead to cavities.

Which treats are better depends on how much sugar they contain and how easily they wash off the tooth’s surface.
