Parents encouraged to reduce sugar hit for their kids this Easter
With statistics in Australia’s Oral Health Tracker showing that just under 35% of children aged 5-6 years have experienced decay in their primary teeth and just over 23 percent of children aged 6-14 years have had tooth decay in their permanent teeth, the ADA is urging parents to come up with some healthier alternatives to chocolate eggs and sugary treats.
It’s a tough ask for parents at a time of year when the Easter Bunny is handing out eggs left, right and centre, and sugary temptation is just a hop away, but it’s necessary to ensure children are given every chance to enjoy good oral health.
