In the Know for You to Know

Chocolate is all about enjoyment and making you feel happy.

Which is your chocolate choice for your child?

Do you LOVE the gooey, sticky and chewy sweets? OR Do you LOVE the melty richness and luxurious feel of smooth chocolate?

Did you know that smooth chocolate is a better choice for your teeth than sticky treats?

Stickier treats get stuck in between your child’s teeth and in the deeper groovier chewing surfaces of their teeth. So they stick around longer and cause cavities. While it’s best to avoid them all together to prevent cavities, if your child occasionally indulges, remember to Brush, Brush, Brush and Floss, Floss, Floss those stickies away as quickly as possible.

Which ever they love, keep this in mind the next time you choose your child’s sweet delight, chewy, sticky, gooey take a long time to eat and sticks to their teeth and causes cavities while smooth melty chocolate slides off teeth quicker and is less likely to cause cavities.

Cavities or No Cavities that is the Question
