Parents have a role to play in preventing tooth decay in their children. Watching out for hidden added sugars in juices can help with 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.
