Sugar and teeth don't play well together. 😖

Sugar is a magnet for bad bacteria in your child's mouth. When they eat it, harmful bacteria can feed on the sugar and form dental plaque, leading to holes (decay) in their teeth.

So, encourage your child to:
👉 brush twice a day
👉 limit sugary foods and drinks, especially between meals
👉 wash their mouth with water after eating sugary foods to help dilute the sugar
👉 drink water throughout the day.

By helping your children develop strong oral hygiene habits, you can set them up for great health throughout their life.

Norovirus causes vomiting and diarrhea. If you have symptoms: wash your hands often with soap and water (hand sanitizer doesn’t work on norovirus!) and don’t prepare food for others while sick and for 2 days after you feel better.

El norovirus causa vómitos y diarrea. Si presenta síntomas: lávese las manos con frecuencia con agua y jabón (¡el desinfectante de manos no es eficaz contra el norovirus!) y no prepare comida para otras personas mientras esté enfermo ni durante los dos días posteriores a su recuperación.
