The biggest problem for kids’ teeth around Halloween isn’t necessarily the one night of candy; it’s all the snacking on sugary treats for days afterward, but some candies are worse for teeth than others. Sticky and chewy candies are especially troublesome because they cling to teeth longer, while sour and hard candies bring their own concerns.
These are the eight worst types of Halloween candy according to a pediatric dentist:
Sticky or chewy candy — gummy worms, Now & Laters
Sour candy — Sour Patch Kids, Warheads
Taffy and caramels — Laffy Taffy, Werther’s, caramel-filled chocolates
Hard candy — Jolly Ranchers, Blow Pops
Licorice and fruit chews — Twizzlers, Skittles, Starbursts
Powdery or pure-sugar candy — Pixy Stix, SweeTarts
Candy corn
Chocolate with caramel or nougat — Snickers, Twix, Milky Way
Dentists recommend having candy after a meal, when saliva production is higher, and say plain chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is a better choice than sticky or filled candies.

Ever get halfway to work or the airport and suddenly wonder, "Did I lock the front door?" or “Did I turn of the stove?” You're definitely not alone. A new survey of 2,000 homeowners found that nearly two-thirds start second-guessing whether they locked the door or closed the garage within just 30 minutes of leaving home, and nearly 40% start worrying before they're even out of the driveway.
The biggest concern isn't actually burglary. The top worry is the physical safety of family members and pets, followed by fears about break-ins. And for many homeowners, the anxiety doesn't disappear. Respondents said they check in on their homes, either mentally or through security apps, an average of four times a day.
The survey also found that 59% of worriers have actually turned the car around to go back and check on something they were afraid they'd forgotten.
