Visit from Karyn Tait from King Street Dentist

Karyn Tait from the King Street Dentist came to speak to the children about how to look after their teeth.  She talked about the sugar content in food and how it can be harmful to your teeth.  Children were shown the amount of 'hidden sugar' in everyday foods.  Karyn talked to us about how the sugar in fruit is released once it has been mashed or liquidised which attacks or teeth straight away.  If we eat the fruit whole the sugar is only released once it is in our digestive system.
