FEBRUARY IS NATIONAL CHILDREN'S DENTAL MONTH!
Your child’s diet is very important for developing and maintaining strong and healthy teeth. It is helpful to include good sources of calcium (yogurt, broccoli, and milk) to your child’s diet to help build strong teeth. Teaching your child about healthy eating habits is one of the best practices for a lifetime of good health. Here are some helpful tips:
-Eat fruits and vegetables for snacks rather than candies and cookies.
-Brush your child’s teeth twice daily.
-Serve water at mealtime rather than juice or soda.
Cavities, also known as caries or tooth decay, are the most common chronic disease of childhood, yet cavities are preventable.
