Do not under any circumstances give your child Gatorade on a daily basis!!!!! Gatorade has been shown to be more corrosive to teeth than juice or soda. She doesn't eat alot of candy at all and I am very careful with her diet. Given that she does a good job brushing everyday, I was very perplexed with her teeth condition. I didn't even give my young daughter soda or most juices, thinking Gatorade was fine. Today, at 5yo, she had to have an infected molar pulled and believe me, this was not dentist looking to do extra work. The tooth was nasty. Though I pulled her off Gatorade bout a year ago, the damage was done. We'll be going back to the dentist in the next couple of weeks to get caps on some of her other teeth and a comprehensive tooth exam. Please stick to water for your kid like I am now. I am glad that I was able to catch this before she lost any of her baby teeth except one.... Gatorade for adult's teeth can be just as bad....
