Happy, Healthy Smiles!
Healthy eating tips for little smiles
- Choose healthy snacks! Enjoy fresh fruits, crunchy vegetables, cheese, and plain yogurt to help keep teeth strong and healthy!
- Build strong teeth! Calcium-rich foods like milk, cheese, and yogurt help support healthy teeth and growing smiles!
- Water is best! Encourage drinking water throughout the day, especially fluoridated water, to help rinse away food particles and protect teeth!
- Limit sugary treats! Candy, cookies, soda, juice, and sports drinks can increase the risk of cavities. Save sweet treats for special occasions!
- Snack smart! Choose nutritious snacks and avoid frequent grazing to give little teeth a break between meals!
- Watch out for sticky sweets! Gummies, caramels, and sticky candies can cling to teeth and increase the risk of tooth decay!
- Keep bedtime sugar-free! After nighttime brushing, stick to water only to help protect those pearly whites while sleeping!
- Brush away sugar bugs! Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily when teeth touch!
- Keep those smiles shining! Healthy eating habits, good brushing routines, and regular dental checkups help create happy, healthy smiles for a lifetime!
