That’s what makes water the best summer beverage for your smile! 

We wanted to share a helpful video by the Mayo Clinic that talks about the risk of drinking sugary drinks to your child’s health (and yours too!):

If drinking plain water sounds dull, consider jazzing it up with sliced citrus fruits or use ice cubes made with 100 percent fruit juice.

These are similar to your own tooth roots, keeping your jawbone strong and allowing you to enjoy more of the foods you love.
