It doesn’t matter

A.

C. They are both important!


How often: Avoid sucking on hard candy and sweets that stay in your mouth for a long time.

• Unless it is a sugar-free product, candies that stay in the mouth for a long period of time expose teeth to prolonged acid attacks, increasing the risk for tooth decay. Acid attacks usually last 20-40 minutes and begin again with each bite or sip of something sweet.

What you eat: Avoid sticky candies that cling to your teeth.

• Sticky candies, like taffy and gummy bears, take longer to get washed away by saliva, increasing the risk for tooth decay.
