Juices and other soft drinks have been blamed for the rising tooth decay problem among children. The drinks contain sweeteners and other added sugars identified as the causes of poor oral health.
Key takeaways:
- Children should be supervised to brush teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice every day until seven years of age.
- The frequency and amount of sugary drinks and snacks should be reduced.
- Make regular visits to the dentist so that dental problems are detected early and treated.
When it comes to oral health, we believe in #preventionfirst: tooth decay is an avoidable disease and we are campaigning for Government’s to take this problem seriously, to act now and invest in real prevention.
