Fizzy drinks are the largest source of sugar causing tooth decay, which is the leading cause for hospitalisation for under 10-year-olds in the UK.

Make your setting a FIZZ FREE ZONE. It's not too late to start today!

Cutting out fizzy drinks and replacing them with plain water or plain milk is a safe and easy way to reduce intake of sugar and in turn, reduce childhood obesity and the risk of long- term health problems.

This will also make it easier to cut down on fizzy drinks for the rest of the year!

Working with parents and carers, making a few simple swaps can make a big difference.

Make a start with the shopping list; The NHS Food Scanner app is filled with great ideas and inspiration for settings and families to try new foods and drinks that are better for children's health.

Remember to look after your family's teeth by:

- Visiting your dentist regularly
- Keeping sparkling and fizzy drinks for an occasional treat with mealtimes
