I don't let my kids have sugar at night because they've already had dinner and brushed their teeth

This is the real answer. Also drinking soda right before brushing your teeth diminishes the effect of brushing because of the residual sugars in your mouth.

I don't let my kid have sugar except for small treats after meals or on special occasions because sugar is terrible for everyone. Eating less sugar also makes healthier things like fruit taste sweeter so they're more attractive options
