It’s important to remember, during National Children’s Dental Health Month, that drinking sugary beverages can put your child at a higher risk for dental cavities. Juice is high in sugar, low in fiber, and high in calories.

Limit these types of beverages and encourage drinking water as your child’s drink of choice. Set the example of taking care of your smile, both of you will benefit from the results!

Signs and symptoms of cancer depend on where the cancer is, how big it is, and how much it affects nearby organs or tissues. If a cancer has spread, signs or symptoms may appear in different parts of the body.
