I used to join my friends to trick or treat growing up. It is something most of the children in my hometown is looking forward to Halloween. Aside from the fact that I can roam around the neighborhood with my friends, I also have the chance to get tons of candies and chocolate. But that experience will haunt me until now. I was hospitalized for having sick due to a serious tooth problem days after Halloween. The dentist advised me it had been triggered by eating so much candy and sweets. I mean, I think I get it why it happened because I know I ate more than what I should and because I was so tired with what we did. I slept without brushing my teeth.
Now that I am a parent, it makes me worry every time Halloween approaches.
