🥤 Tuesday Tup: Sugar Bugs Beware!
How much sugar is in your child’s favorite drink? You might be surprised! 😲
🥤 One juice box = 6 teaspoons of sugar!
🥶 One can of soda = 10 teaspoons of sugar!
🚰 Water = 0 sugar (and best for teeth)!
Sugary drinks feed cavity-causing bacteria in your child’s mouth, which can lead to tooth decay, pain, and even infections.
✅ Easy Swaps for Healthier Smiles:
🥛 Milk or water instead of juice
🍓 Infused water with fresh fruit
🍵 Herbal tea with no added sugar
💡 Try This: Next time your child wants juice, dilute it with water to reduce sugar exposure. Every small step helps keep those little teeth strong!
