Steer your children clear of especially sugary treats like gummy bears. They contain the equivalent of four teaspoons of pure sugar per serving. Also try to keep them from eating hard candies like gobstoppers. These candies take so long to dissolve that the extra long exposure to your child\u2019s teeth can be damaging. Sticky candies like Starburst and Tootsie Rolls are particularly bad for teeth as well because they are not only sugary but starchy and can easily get stuck between teeth and in hard to reach places. <b><\/b><\/li>\r\n\t<li><b>Healthy Treat Ideas<\/b>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Dark Chocolate Covered Apples<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Veggie Skeleton<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Spiders on a Log ( Plastic Spiders and Peanut Butter on Celery Sticks)<b><\/b><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Pumpkin Dippers (Pumpkin Shaped Carrots on a Stick With Hummus)<b><\/b><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Pumpkin Cupcakes (Pumpkin Oat Muffins with Cream Cheese Icing)<b><\/b><\/li>\r\n\t<li>White Chocolate Pretzel Webs<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<b>Pediatric Dental Care in Los Angeles, CA<\/b>\r\n\r\nThere are many healthy substitutions for the sugary treats kids love at this time of year.
