Kids do need to eat healthy foods. Letting them indulge in healthy treats isn't necessarily bad, as long as they're healthy snacks overall. Try different kinds of healthy snacks that you think your child would like, and let them know that they're a treat and not a regular part of the diet. You can learn more about healthy snacks here.

Yes, once in a while is fine. I'd suggest sticking to candy that has no sugar and is made from fruit. Fruit is a healthy choice for the most part, and can be enjoyed by children when eaten in small amounts.

Is it ok for kids' teeth for them to eat candy?

It depends on the candy! There are several kinds of candy, some of which aren't very healthy for you. To see which ones are best for you and your children, we recommend checking with your doctor.
