Cheese and Your Child's Teeth

We've long known that dairy products contain high amounts of calcium, which can help make strong teeth, but did you know eating cheese can also improve your child's dental health?

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recent studies have shown that eating cheese at the end of a meal or as a snack helps fight cavities.  Cheese helps to produce saliva, which clears the mouth of debris and protects teeth from acids that weaken them. In addition, calcium and phosphorous in cheese lowers plaque’s ph level and works to re-mineralize the enamel of your child’s teeth.

As your pediatric dentist in Tucson, we want to help you manage all your children's dental needs.  Feel free to call us at (520) 544-8522 if you have any questions.
