Having witnessed small children in pushchairs or even toddling alongside a parent with a packet of some sugary item in its hand or a drink with a straw I can only think that this is done to keep the child quiet while mum goes about doing what she wants to do.
This is the child that will have dental issues not the advent one a day chocolate.
Good parenting is not denying a child a sweet/chocolate but taking advice from a dentist on how you can prevent your child from early tooth decay and children should be taught as early as possible how to brush their teeth.I do not believe a dentist would discourage a parent from forbidding a child a sweet as all this will do is make the child at the first opportunity go behind the parents back.
Moderation and teaching how too much sugar causes decay / toothache and making sure the child knows how to care for his /her teeth as early as possible..
