February is National Children's Dental Health Month.

While it's no surprise that sugar can lead to cavities.

One pediatric dentist in Kentucky says she's on a mission to help educate parents about a more common source of sugar that is often overlooked.

While things like milk, juice, sodas, candy and things like that can cause cavities, we see a lot of practices that happen with the gummy vitamins and the fruit snacks.

And it's just the parents don't understand that they can be very detrimental to the teeth.

So unfortunately, in the 22 years that I've been doing dentistry, this has become an everyday conversation and every day education conversation that I have with every family that comes into my practice and more people that find out about it, the better off our state is going to be because it's kind of a hidden epidemic like you see it in some of the parenting magazines, like at the very bottom, and I'll say pediatric dentists do not recommend gummy vitamins, but it's going up against a huge like industry.

Like I found out early on in my career that I was not going to have a voice like, I can't go up against the money that is generated from advertising for gummy vitamins when every kid on the planet loves their gummy vitamins.

So ours is one by one.

We just try to educate and say, Hey, tell your friends.
