National Smile Day – top tips to keep that grin perfect!
Look after your teeth! Tooth decay is caused by too much sugar in our diets.
Did you know a child’s recommended daily sugar intake is:
BEWARE – Sugar Alert!
Kids – An average kid’s breakfast of cereal, toast with Nutella and a smoothie could contain as much as 15 teaspoons of sugar!
Mums – watch out for sushi, some low fat yoghurts, salad dressings and soups!
HIDDEN SUGARS:
Try some natural sugar alternatives such as agave, coconut sugar and rice malt syrup.
