Sugary medicines harm kids teeth

Sugar content of many child medications presents a real problem for oral health. For many medicines given orally, such as syrups to children, there are sugar-free alternatives available which will not have adverse effects on the dentition.

Doctors and healthcare professionals should prescribe sugar-free liquid medicines or medicines in tablet form if possible. If the medicine is only available in a sugar-containing liquid formulation, advice should be given to the child's parents and carers.
