I say, let her have the candy, but teach her to brush her teeth really well and tell her she has to floss and use the water pick. AFter awhile the burden of extra dental hygiene will take away the desire for sugary candies. I know this, it was what I did to my children and they decided the candy wasn't such a big deal and my son still doesn't like sweets and has never had a cavity. He is 27. My daughter not too fond of candy either but had one cavity when she had my grandson. I, on the other hand, love candy and would eat it all the time if I had the time to eat it.zelda1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04212809913449846878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-1125196618252063512005-08-27T21:36:00.000-05:002005-08-27T21:36:00.000-05:00Diane:you are brilliant!
