Candy contains sugar, and sugar leads to damaged teeth. However, it's not the sugar itself that damage the teeth. Several types of bacteria, particularily Streptococcus mutans are present in the mouth, and these feed on sugar. When they metabolize the sugar, they create acids in the mouth, which lower the pH. In response to the acidic environment, the enamel of the teeth begins to demineralize, which can cause caries.
Candy has a high level of glycemic index (GI), which means that it gives a high rise in blood sugar levels after ingestion. This is chiefly a concern for people with diabetes, but could also be dangerous to the health for non-diabetics.
