Almost all juices and sodas contain a high amount of sugar, which is unhealthy for children, especially. Parents and teachers should concentrate on giving a child a healthy nutritional diet as well as vitamins to enable them to grow up stronger and healthier. Many drinks may be bad for your toddler, thereby causing their teeth to look less than perfect.<br>

Whether it is sugar-free or ordinary soda, they still include the elements of acids that make the teeth look bad. Every single sip of soda your toddler drinks is a welcome call to harm their teeth. If they drink such beverages every day, bacteria would be waiting constantly to attack. Eventually, decay sets in, and their teeth begin to fall out. The result of drinking excess soda is not pleasing as it causes painful aches caused by holes in the teeth, gum decay, tooth cavities, and rot.
Avoiding sugary substances is the best way to avoid tooth decay. However, the occasional sugary treat is okay. It is vital to choose beverages with low to no sugar. Water is the best beverage for children as it helps to wash away bacteria on the teeth and in the mouth. A great way to get your toddler to drink more water is by adding fruit. Fruit-infused water adds a great flavor without adding refined sugars and other harmful ingredients.
While brushing your toddler’s teeth after consuming soda or juice can help rid their mouth of acid-causing bacteria, it is recommended to wait at least 30 to 60 minutes after consuming sugary drinks. Teeth are sensitive immediately after consuming sugar, and the friction caused by brushing teeth can spread the bacteria. Instead of brushing immediately after, have your child swish their mouth out with water.
A few other tips for avoiding tooth decay if your toddler has an occasional soda or juice include: drinking soda or juice in moderation; diluting juice drinks; using a straw; avoiding soft drinks before bedtime; and, most importantly, getting regular dental cleanings!
