🧃Juice can be tough on little teeth because it contains both sugar and acid, even when it says “100% juice.” Sipping on juice throughout the day gives those sugars more time to sit on teeth and can increase the risk of cavities.

We usually recommend sticking to water between meals and saving juice for mealtime when possible. And if your child does have juice, a quick rinse with water afterward can help wash away some of that sugar and acid! 🦷

Baby teeth may be temporary, but they play a big role in your child’s health and development.

They help with:

* Eating and speaking clearly
* Holding space for adult teeth
* Building healthy habits early

That’s why caring for baby teeth is so important, even if they eventually fall out.

Small habits now can make a big difference later!

Nighttime brushing matters more than you think!

While your child sleeps, saliva slows down. That means food and bacteria sit on teeth longer, which can lead to cavities.

Brushing before bed helps clear everything away so their teeth stay protected overnight.

Even a quick brush is better than skipping it! 🪥
