Dentists support National Nutrition Week

The Australian Dental Association is supporting National Nutrition Week by urging people to eat healthy meals in order to combat obesity and dental decay.

Dr Derek Lewis, of ADA’s Oral Health Committee, advises people to consume sugary foods and drinks in moderation.

“Healthy mouths and healthy lives require healthy eating,” he said.

ADA’s recent Dental Health Week, themed the Sugar Bandit, told people about the risks of sugary foods.
