Picture the scene: You're in your spookiest costume and are out trick or treating with your friends.

But instead of a sweet someone hands you a... sticker?

How would you react - would you more than happy with a sticker or would you be furious?

Let's face it, Halloween is a great time to stack up on sweets, and so you might be a bit surprised if you got something else to pop in your pumpkin bucket.

But doctors and dentists group, the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) England, are suggesting parents and guardians should think about giving out stickers instead of sweets this year.

Would you be happy with stickers instead of sweets this Halloween, or is the very idea outrageous?

At Newsround we needed to get to the bottom of this.

We spoke to Dr Charlotte Eckhardt from RCS England who explained that while sweets can be really tasty, "it's all about moderation" as eating too many sugary treats can be bad for your teeth.

Dr Charlotte says: "A treat should be something that you don’t have all the time, and so sweets aren't that special if we're having lots and lots of them."

"Nobody is saying that sweets shouldn't be allowed at Halloween, and everyone should enjoy themselves. But eating lots of sugary sweets over a long time could lead to tooth decay."

According to Dr Charlotte, chewy sweets can cause sugar to stick to our teeth, and eating lollipops or hard boiled sweets mean they have to be in the mouth for a long time before they dissolve - and "time plus sugar can often cause decay".

As well as avoiding too many spooky sweets this Halloween, RCS England also recommend drinking water instead of fizzy drinks, and of course brushing your teeth for two minutes twice a day.

So are they just being sensible and keeping us healthy, or are they trying to ruin Halloween? Don't forget to have your say.
