That’s why two people can do the same things and have very different oral health outcomes.

🧐 But they’re not the whole story.

Our mouths are shaped by lots of things working together: genetics, saliva, stress, diet, hydration, past dental work, and the care we’ve been able to access across our lives.

🚰 staying hydrated
🦞 having a break between snacks and meals
🍵 choosing non-alcoholic drink options
🧘‍♂️ taking a moment to relax your jaw if you’re prone to clenching

The campaign is all about making online environments and public spaces free from unhealthy food marketing.

It calls for TV and radio content to be free from marketing at times when kids are listening and watching, and preventing companies from marketing unhealthy food directly to them.

That's why we’ve joined @phaa-fansig.bsky.social, Cancer Council Australia, @dietitiansaus.bsky.social, Australian Medical Association, Diabetes Australia, VicHealth and more as part of the Food for Health Alliance's ‘Brands off our kids’ campaign.

Lots of processed foods are high in sugar which feeds oral bacteria that produces acid, eroding enamel and creating cavities.

Avoiding sugary drinks and foods is one way that we can improve our oral health, but this is difficult when we’re being saturated with marketing for these products.

3/6

But the processed food industry bombards our kids with unhealthy food and drink advertisements. These ads influence what our kids eat, want and ask for, which shapes their health now and into the future.
