Dentists, are you tired of being condemned for giving out toothbrushes on Halloween? Airheads candy has you covered.

Perfetti Van Melle, the Italian-Dutch owner of the U.S. brand of taffy candy, will be distributing thousands of packs of Airheads-flavored dental floss to dentists in the U.S. It's a limited-edition product for the holiday.

Airheads introduced the candy-flavored dental floss to cut the long-standing holiday tension between candy makers and dentists. The goal is to make a dentist's house a more desirable stop this Halloween, according to the company.
