Key takeaways:
– Suggested measures include a sugar tax on soft drinks, lowering the recommended daily allowance and clearer product labelling
– Tooth decay from exposure to sugary food and drink is costing the NHS millions each year
– Your dentist will be happy to discuss ways to cut down your child’s sugar intake
“Tooth decay is now the number one reason for hospital admissions among young children.”
