There some facts you should check, if you have #kids (^^^) Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease for children, even though it is entirely preventable. (^^^)The number one cause of tooth decay is the consumption of sugary foods and drinks on a regular basis.

(^^^) Nearly 60% of Australian children over 8 years of age have had a filling or became aware they had tooth decay. Are YOU a sugar bandit? (^^^)Australians consume more than double the world’s average 17 teaspoons of sugar intake (per person, per day). (^^^) 59% of Australian parents believe they are doing everything they can to prevent their child from getting tooth decay. (^^^) Less than 10% of Australian parents believe their #child should first visit the dentist before they turn one.
