Sugar Intake for Children | Advice from Children's Dentist
Welcome to Desert Kids Dental! Today, we’re sharing important advice on managing your child’s sugar intake.
Recommended Daily Sugar Intake
Children aged 2 to 18 should limit their sugar intake to less than 25 grams, or 6 teaspoons, per day. For children under two years old, it is recommended to avoid added sugars altogether.
Common Hidden Sugar Traps
Be aware of common hidden sugar traps. Flavored yogurts, cereal bars, fruit juices, and even some types of bread can contain surprising amounts of sugar.
Healthy Alternatives to Sugary Snacks
Try healthy alternatives to sugary snacks. Use cookie cutters to shape fruits and vegetables into fun designs, or create a colorful fruit salad.
Interactive Snack Ideas
Serve snacks in an exciting, interactive way, like a build-your-own trail mix station with various nuts and seeds.
