The impact that sugar has on your body and your smile can impact you for a lifetime. However, here are some strategies that you can use to decrease the amount of sugar you consume and keep your smile healthy. 

1. Drink water. When you have a craving for something, sweet drink water to decrease the craving. 
2. Eat food with natural sugar such as fruits, and brush your teeth after.
