Can Gummy Vitamins Harm Your Child's Teeth?

Good morning,

Today we want to talk about something most kids out there enjoy... gummy vitamins! Gummy vitamins are a great invention to help our growing children get the vitamins they need. However, since most people put them into the "healthy category," they don't often think about the potential negative side effects.

"Kids hate vitamins – we know. That’s why if you ask parents, gummy vitamins will rank as one of the best kid inventions of all time. Kids love ‘em! Kids want more of ‘em! Kids steal them and bring them to school! Wait. What? Yes. Gummy vitamins are a fantastic way to get your kids into the habit of healthy supplementation. Unfortunately, being sticky as all get-out (and enjoyably sweet), they come with a few side notes from us dental-folk."

So, what can you do to help your kids get their vitamins but not cause problems for their teeth? Take a look at the article here to learn what 6 steps they recommend!
