Marc Lazare spoke with Fox News Digital about how popular Halloween treats affect teeth, especially teeth that already have fillings, crowns or other restorations. He explains why hard candy can crack or split a tooth, how sticky sweets can pull out restorations, and why sour candy and raisins prolong acid exposure. His recommendation for a safer treat is dark chocolate, which melts and dissolves quickly. He also shares simple habits to protect enamel through the holiday.
We want to prevent damage rather than have to repair it. – Dr. Marc Lazare
