Why reward children with tooth decay?

Snacking often on sugary foods and drinks can lead to tooth decay.

Don’t be part of the problem – be part of the solution to better oral health.

Choose an age-appropriate alternative reward such as:

• Toothbrush
  
• Magnets
  
• Stickers
  
• Bookmarks
  
• Certificates
  
• Colouring pages/activity sheets
• Pencils, erasers, mini note pads
  
• Ink stamps
  
• Coloured chalk
  
• Balloons
  
• A plant or seeds and a pot for growing them in
  

Or best of all – reward them with your time - play a game or do an activity together.
