Chocolates are loved by everyone and for good reason—these decadent confections can brighten anyone's day. Furthermore, chocolates are the ideal presents.

Chocolates are the standard gift choice, whether we're surprise our significant other or giving a child a present that makes them happy. Youngsters are known to eat chocolate throughout the day and have a greater fondness for it than adults do. 

Here is why Chocolates are a big NO for kids-

High sugar content: The high sugar content of chocolate encourages the growth of oral bacteria, which aggravates gum disease and plaque.

Tooth damage: Sugar is converted into acids by oral bacteria, which causes caries and damage to teeth.

Tooth and Enamel degradation: Enamel is weakened by the sugar in chocolate, making it more susceptible to the effects of heat and cold.

Dental sensitivity: The abrasive cacao included in chocolates can lead to enamel flaws and dental sensitivity.

Degradation of tooth enamel: Chocolate adheres to our teeth when it is consumed.
