Therefore try to keep sugary snacks to a minimum and replace with healthy snacks such as cheese, fruit, vegetables, nuts, bread, rice crackers. You can download the 'sugar smart' app to track sugar quantities in food and drinks.

​

Damaging acids form in your mouth every time you eat a sugary snack. The acids continue to affect your teeth for at least 20 minutes before they are neutralised and can’t do any more harm. So, the more times you eat sugary snacks during the day, the more often you feed bacteria, the fuel they need to cause tooth decay.
