Cordial, squash and flavoured water: what they do to children's teeth

Cordial, squash, fruit drinks and flavoured waters hit children's teeth with sugar and acid at once. A Melrose Park dentist explains what each does, how to read the label and the simple rule that limits the damage.

What to expect for your child

We keep first visits friendly and unhurried so your child feels at ease. We show them the tools, explain things in words they understand, and go at their pace.

A check-up and clean lets us spot anything early. We also give you a few practical tips on brushing and diet for home.

We want your child to grow up thinking of the dentist as a normal part of life.
