Drink More Water!
/As National Children’s Dental Health month continues throughout February, we want to tell you more about the most important beverage for your body: WATER!
Check out these fun graphics from the AAPD to learn more about choosing water over juices and sports drinks for your child. There’s lots of information here, so let us know if you have any questions at your next dental visit!
Key take-aways:
Water is best!
If your child has a sweetened drink as a treat, it’s best at a mealtime, not for snacks.
Over-consumption of unhealthy drinks can lead to obesity, diabetes and tooth decay.
A preference for drinking water is learned, just like a preference for sweets!
Let your child choose a fun cup and/or straw at the store to encourage drinking water out of!
