Choose Healthier Chews. • Choose chocolate over caramel & sticky sweets. Dark chocolate has antioxidants. • Dried fruit clings to teeth. Opt for fresh fruit instead. • Instead of sugary gum, chew xylitol gum to help battle harmful acids and bacteria in your mouth. • Skip the soda. If water or milk won’t sate your craving, try a root beer. It’s less acidic than other sodas. • Snack time? Grab calcium-rich cheese sticks not carb-loaded potato chips.
