Eat less candy by not buying it, and switching to healthy, yet tasty things. I have never had a cavity and I eat candy sometimes, but most of the time I eat the healthy snacks. Good luck with your teeth<3

It is the sour candy that is probably doubling your problem - acids erode things even teeth so by constantly sucking or chewing the sour candies your teeth are hit by frequent acid attacks - try to find something to neutralize the mouth after each attack rinse with baking soda or something.

If you do eat candy, just make sure to brush your teeth really well within 20 minutes. Brush for at least 2 minutes.

Start flossing. Brush your gums not only your teeth. Don't forget your tongue. They have things in local drug store to get between teeth. Also use mouthwash...preferably Listerine! I have a gum disease so I have to be careful. It was passed down to me by my dad. Thanks dad, geesh.
