My child takes a medication frequently that seems really sticky and sweet to me. Is that a concern?

FAQ's
Medications can contribute to decay because of the sugary syrup that they are suspended in. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if a no-sugar alternative is available. Some medications also tend to dry up saliva and reduce the natural rinsing of the mouth. If medication is necessary for your child then you will need to be extra vigilant about thorough brushing with fluoride toothpaste, and should also discuss with your dentist whether additional measures to prevent decay need to be taken.
