Dental Surgeon in the Ministry of Health, Dr. Brendan Richards, has encouraged parents to include more fresh fruits rather than juices in their babies’ diets, as this supports proper chewing and overall dental development.
Speaking on NBC Radio during a discussion on child dental health and nutrition, Dr. Richards explained that fruits provide important nutrients that support a child’s general well-being.
In contrast, he noted that many fruit juices are high in sugar and offer little to no nutritional benefit.
