It is that time of year again when the ghosts come out to play, the witches grab their broom sticks and the skeletons start to rattle their bones. It's a fun time for children and families to dress up and indulge but it's also important we remember our dental hygiene. For teeth as magnificent as a vampire and not rotten like a corpse, check out our tips to have a healthyHalloween below.Our Healthy Halloween Tips

Pick wisely
When it comes to sweets, skip the hard and sticky lollies that can crack teeth or cling to enamel. Softer options, like a plain milk chocolate (think Freddo Frog!), are a safer choice — and just as loved by kids. Help younger children learn what to look for when choosing from their Halloween haul.

Enjoy in moderation
Halloween is full of sweet temptation, but it’s easy to go overboard. With a recommended daily limit of 7 teaspoons of sugar (about 28 grams), just a few treats can quickly exceed that amount.

Set limits
Snacking on lollies all night exposes teeth to sugar for extended periods. Try saving the treats for when you get home, rather than nibbling while out and about — it gives teeth a better chance to recover between sugary hits.

Time it right
If you're going to indulge, do it after a main meal. Saliva production is still active and can help rinse away sugars more effectively.

Brush — but not straight away
While it’s tempting to brush immediately, wait at least 30 minutes. Some treats can soften tooth enamel, and brushing too soon could do more harm than good. A proper two-minute brush before bed is the best way to keep smiles fresh after the fun.

Try a healthy alternative
Get creative with fruity, fun, and spooky snacks. A little imagination can turn healthy options into Halloween hits.

Enjoy yourself!
Halloween is all about fun, family, and a bit of mischief. Follow these simple steps and your little monsters will remember the night for all the right reasons — with their smiles intact.
