With the holidays fast approaching, kids and adults will be tempted with many sugary treats. Here is a tip from your pediatric dentist to help reduce the sugar exposure to your children’s teeth:
Try to minimizing snacking on sugar treats. Constant or frequent snacking doesn’t give your mouth a chance to naturally rinse the sugar (and acid byproducts from bacteria) off the teeth.
So eat that candy bar or finish that piece of cake, but then put the treats away for another day. And don't forget to go brush your teeth!
