Most children love sweet treats, but some treats are more damaging to teeth than others.
Key takeaways:
– Gums and sticky toffees can stick to tooth enamel for long periods of time and allow sugar to attack tooth enamel.
– Very hard sweets can cause damage to teeth.
– Dark chocolate has less sugar and some nutritional benefits so is a better choice.
Sugar-free gum has been shown to increase saliva which helps protect teeth against acids which can attack tooth enamel.
“Even if your child isn’t big on candy, it’s important not to miss their regular check-ups with their dentist.”
