Trick or Treat for America's ToothFairy - SparX Halloween Candy Giveaway

Halloween is just around the corner, the costumes are in the store and so are tons of sugary snacks! However, the aftermath of this fun-filled holiday can leave behind more than just an pile of empty candy wrappers. America's ToothFairy would like to help everyone have a happy, healthy Halloween...without the cavities!

Follow these Tips from the ToothFairy for a Healthier Halloween!

Hand out sugar-free candy to trick-or-treaters. You are still giving them a sweet treat, but without the cavities!

Make the focus about something other than sugar, host a Halloween party for a good cause benefiting a children's charity. Everyone can bring a dollar for the charity and a healthy dish to eat at the party.

Dress up as the Toothfairy and give out multi-colored toothbrushes instead of candy this year.

Feed your child prior to Halloween festivities or trick or treat activities to avoid snacking.

Have healthy, tooth-friendly snacks available such as fruit, vegetables, cheese and yogurt. Avoid sticky and starchy snacks that can cling to teeth and cause decay.

Rather than have the holiday focus around eating a bunch of sugar-laden sweets, center it around an activity such as going to a local pumpkin patch and holding a family pumpkin-carving contest.

If you are hosting a party, use healthy foods to make fun treats that the kids can enjoy. With a little fruit, some paper plates and toothpicks, children can create their own Monster Face. Melon balls or grapes make great monster eyeballs by simply smearing the melon balls with the toothpicks and poking through a paper plate.  For the monster's nose, spear strawberries or orange slices, and for the monster's smile, a banana will do just fine!

For a healthy smile year round, remember to brush, and floss your teeth twice a day and visit your dentist once every six months! For children ages 6 and up, use a fluoride rinse.

Win It!

One person will win a 30 pack of SparX Halloween Candy.
