Dentists issue plea to replace sweets for trick or treaters this Halloween
Briefly

Dentists, including the Faculty of Dental Surgery, suggest that during Halloween, children should be given stickers instead of sweets to promote better oral health.
Dr. Charlotte Eckhardt emphasized that while Halloween should be enjoyed, it serves as a reminder that sugar consumption should not be the norm to prevent tooth decay.
It's crucial to avoid lollipops and sticky sweets, as they expose children’s teeth to sugar for extended periods, heightening the risk of dental issues.
As part of Halloween celebrations, parents and the public are encouraged to think creatively and choose healthier treat alternatives like stickers or playdough.
