Did you know?
- Even 100% fruit juice is packed with hidden natural sugars, which can contribute to cavities.
- Juice is acidic, which can erode the enamel on young teeth over time.
- Juice lacks the fiber of whole fruit, offering a quick sugar spike without much nutritional benefit and many empty calories
Why we love water (and spice it up!)
- Water hydrates without feeding cavity-causing bacteria.
- Drinking water helps wash away food particles and sugars after meals.
- Proper hydration supports overall health and development in kids.
- Kids who grow up drinking water are less likely to crave sugary sodas, sports drinks, and juices as adults.
-Early exposure to water creates a preference for it over sugary options.
- Strong teeth in childhood set the stage for a healthier smile in adulthood.
 | Tips for Making Water Fun - Add a slice of fruit, or cucumber for natural flavor. - Let kids pick out a fun reusable water bottle. - Encourage water breaks during playtime and meals Cheers to water and happy smiles!
