Protecting Your Toddler’s Teeth from Sugar

What toddler doesn’t love to have a glass of juice or other sugary drinks? While supermarket shelves are full of drinks marketed towards children as “healthy,” it’s not always the case.

Even though children eventually lose their baby teeth, it’s important to care for them to prevent future oral health problems. Here are a few tips for avoiding tooth decay in children when it comes to sneaky sugars in drinks.
