Halloween is coming, so let's settle the candy debate before the trick-or-treating starts.
Chewy, sticky candies like taffy and gummies tend to be the worst offenders since they cling to teeth the longest, while chocolate that melts and clears out fast is a relatively better choice. Sour candies bring their own trouble thanks to the acid. Save this so you know what to grab (or hand out) when the candy bowl comes out this year.
