Learn About Hidden Sugars with Wincanton Smile Centre

Wincanton Smile Centre's 'Sugar' displaySugar – let's face it, we all know it's bad for our teeth, but here at the Wincanton Smile Centre, we have launched a campaign highlighting the hidden sugars in our everyday food items. Some of our findings are ones you may expect but there are lots of foods that we may think are healthy but actually are very damaging to our teeth.

We are running this campaign to coincide with the Easter period when there may be more sugary items in our diet than normal, and to try and provide some education for the public. Some people are at a higher risk of developing tooth decay, so we have provided some educational tools to help make more informed decisions when doing the food shopping.

Anyone is welcome to pop in and take a look at our display and we have also provided some fun food-related puzzles and games for kids and also goody bags. We welcome comments and questions from the public if they want to know more.

The Smile Centre is located opposite the butchers at the top of the High Street in Wincanton. We look forward to seeing you soon!
