On Tuesday 24th November, we were lucky enough to have the dental nurse visit our class as part of our topic work on Teeth and Eating.
She showed us a powerpoint presentation about the dangers to our teeth of eating too many sugary foods. We found out how many teaspoons of sugar you would find in certain foods and snacks that we might like. For example,
Mini Cheddars = 5 teaspoons of sugar per bag
Ribena = 90 teaspoons of sugar in a bottle or 9 in a serving
Mars Bar = 11 teaspoons
Pure orange juice = 8 teaspoons
Polos = 5 teaspoons
She told us that it is best to eat sugary foods as part of a whole meal rather than as snacks inbetween.
She also showed us the best way to clean our teeth.
We enjoyed her visit very much!
