7 Food’s That Can Improve the Health Of Your Child’s Smile




The food that your toddler eats not only will shape their habits for a lifetime but it can also damage their smile. Helping them to pick healthy options when they are younger can ensure they have a healthy smile forever. The teeth are the hardest substance in your child’s body, and can withstand the test of time when you give them the nutrients they need. Here are 7 foods’ that can keep their smile healthy.

1.     Apples. They are a great source of vitamins that not only nourishes the body but are packed with water that can help rinse food from the surface of the teeth.

2.     Carrots, contain 400% of your daily vitamin A, but carrots also help to remove food from the teeth because they have a natural abrasiveness to them.

3.     Non-fat yogurt. This is a fantastic snack for your children because it is low in sugar. The less sugar your child consumes on a regular basis the better for your child’s teeth.

4.     Baked zucchini chips can provide a filling treat for your children without the carbs that stick to teeth.

5.     Sliced almonds. Almonds are packed with vitamin E but they can damage the teeth because of how hard they are. Avoid giving your child whole almonds and instead utilize sliced almonds.

6.     Cheese is a great source of protein and can keep your child’s pearly whites, white for a lifetime. Pair a piece of cheese with apples or a piece of turkey as a fantastic treat.

7.     Fruit or vegetable infused water. Your child should drink 5 glasses if they are between the ages of 5-8. If they struggle to drink water incorporating strawberries or cucumbers can provide a quick snack and keep their teeth healthy.

Food is the fuel to your child’s body and to their smile. For more information on how to keep your child’s smile healthy contact Dr. Fuller and his team.

  1. I know that there are foods that can damage dental health, but I never would have thought that eating certain foods could actually help improve it. I don't have any kids, but I'm sure that if these things can help a kid's health, then they can help mine. I'll definitely have to add some cheese apples and almonds into my daily snack rotation at work. http://www.cordoradental.com
