Sippy Cups May Lead to Cavities

Does your child drink a lot of juice or sweet drinks from a sippy cup between meals?

If so, he or she is more likely to get cavities.To help keep your child’s teeth healthy, try these tips:

  • Give him or her plain milk or water to drink at snack times.
  • You can also fill a sippy cup with just water.

Talk with your child’s dentist or doctor if you have any questions.
