Like the rest of thebody, the teeth, bones and the soft tissues of the mouth need a well-balanced diet. Children should eat a variety of foods from the five major food groups. Most snacks that children eat can lead to cavity formation.
The more frequently a child snacks, the greater the chance for tooth decay. How long food remains in the mouth also plays a role. For example, hard candy and breath mints stay in the mouth a long time, which cause longeracid attacks on tooth enamel.
If your child must snack, choose nutritious foods such as vegetables, low-fat yogurt, and low-fat cheese, which are healthier and better for children’s teeth.  Please go to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry for information on “Diet and Snacking.”[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
