Happy Halloween!!! Are you ready for a night of trick or treating? Here are a few things to keep in mind this Halloween: 1. Have a game plan Before heading out, take a minute to talk about expectations. How long will trick-or-treating last? How much candy will be eaten when getting home? What will be the treats-per-day limit?... 2. Eat a balanced meal Healthy meals and snacks should always come before candy and treats. Send the kids trick or treating with a good healthy meal. A satisfied stomach will indulge in fewer sweets. 3. Brush, floss and rinse Sticky candy can get stuck in between teeth and cause tooth decay. Brushing and flossing after a snack is ideal, but rinsing with a glass of water after eating a sugary treat will also help wash away some of the sugars and acids. After flossing, roll it up in a tiny ball and put it in the garbage. Never flush floss down the toilet. 4. Have Fun! Show your family there is more to Halloween than the candy, enjoy time being active outside together and exploring your neighbourhood. http://www.cda-adc.ca///dental_care_children/halloween.asp
