For a Healthier Halloween, Try:
- Switching To- Sugar-free treats and dark chocolate
- Eating Dinner Before Going Trick Or Treating- If kids are full before they go trick-or-treating, then they will eat fewer pieces of candy afterward
- Washing Away the Sugar- Try chewing sugar-free gum or drinking a glass of milk after meals
- Giving Out Non-Food Treats- Try stickers, toys, temporary tattoos, false teeth, little bottles of bubbles and small games like tiny decks of cards
- Providing Healthy Snacks- Try small bags of pretzels, sugar-free gum, trail mix, small boxes of raisins, popcorn, and small boxes of cereal
- Donating Uneaten Treats- Allow your kids a set amount of sweet treats and then get rid of the rest. Having a stash of sugary treats is too much temptation for anyone.Consider donating the leftover candy to a local senior citizens home, food pantry, Ronald McDonald House, or children’s hospital.

Lisa loathed the idea of going on a blind date. But a good friend finally convinced her to go on one with a smart and classy dentist from her hometown. With a few more days to go before the big date, Lisa was starting to get a little worried. In her opinion, she was looking better than she ever had, except for her smile. Lisa loved her coffee, and indulged in a cigarette or two here and there. She also enjoyed a glass of wine with dinner. Over the years, she noticed that these habits had begun to take a toll in her teeth. Instead of the bright white color they were in high school, now they had a yellowish hue and some brown spots near her gum line.
