My child constantly wants sugary foods, how can I take precautions?

Sugary foods and drinks are among children’s favorite foods. However, sugar consumption is also the biggest cause of tooth decay. Rather than banning it entirely, controlled consumption and proper timing are key. For example, offering sugary foods after main meals, followed by water or teeth brushing, reduces the risk of cavities. It can also be beneficial to offer healthier alternatives like fruit and yogurt instead of junk food.
