Chocolate lovers rejoice: chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is a better Easter candy option when it comes to maintaining your oral health. Dark chocolate contains less sugar than milk chocolate and therefore attracts lower levels of bad bacteria and acid. Hollow chocolate candy, like the traditional chocolate Easter bunny, are best of all as they can save you some calories!
There’s nothing wrong with indulging in a sweet treat or two, so long as you do so in moderation. If you do have a piece of Easter candy, drinking a glass of water afterward can help wash teeth clean before bacteria and acid begin to wear away on your teeth.
