Today is National Sloppy Joe Day! #NationalSloppyJoeDay

National Sloppy Joe Day is observed each year on March 18th. A hot sandwich that is often made with ground beef, onions, tomato sauce, brown sugar, cola or maple syrup to sweeten it and seasonings to spice it up, then served up on a hamburger bun.

Tooth decay will begin when plaque come into contact with sugar inside of the mouth. This causes acid to attack the teeth. Foods that have sugars of any kind can add to tooth decay. To manage the amount of sugar you eat, read the nutrition facts and ingredient labels on foods and beverages and try to choose options that have the least amount of sugar.
