Healthy Eating Habits for Teeth

January 25th, 2013

Wondering what's good and bad for your child's teeth?  Here are a few tips from us:

Keep consumption of juice and other sugary drinks to a minimum. It is especially important in warm climates, such as Tucson, to keep children hydrated. Try milk or water instead.

Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Processed foods contain starches and simple sugars that are more likely to cause tooth decay.

Limit frequent snacking. Between-meal snacking, especially on foods that are sticky or contain fermentable carbohydrates, increase your child’s risk for tooth decay.

As your pediatric dentist in Tucson, we want to help your child avoid cavities through proper dental hygiene.  Call us today if you have any questions about your child's eating habits.
