Halloween can be very fun and trick or treating in the neighborhood for Halloween candy can be part of your child day. There is nothing wrong with candy per say, but as with most things too much is not good.

With that said,  many children can receive a years worth of candy in one day.  To much candy is not good for your child teeth as well as overall health. Go though your child candy and pick out the sugar free ones, and give sugary candy less often.

See if your local dentist is doing any candy trading. Some dentist will take sugary Halloween candy and provide sugar free option or coloring books as a way for parents to get rid of the extra candy their kids do not need. Also remember to practice good dental care habits with your child.

Have a safe and enjoyable Halloween this year.
