Kids love snacks! As a parent, you may wonder what kind of snacks are the best for your child’s teeth and his or her overall health. We know that sugary snacks are sometimes inevitable, but it’s important that you monitor the frequency with which your child is eating harmful foods. Otherwise, he or she may be more vulnerable to dental cavities or tooth decay.
Obviously, the best snacks for your child’s teeth are the healthy ones. Unfortunately, these types of snacks aren’t always immediately appealing to your children, especially if they’re used to more sugary snacks. There are ways you can make these healthy choices more palatable to picky eaters! Below are a few suggestions:
These snacks contain all the nutrients your child needs for a healthy body and smile. They’re also low in sugar content, but still, provide enough flavor and variety for even the pickiest of eaters.
No matter what your child chooses to snack on, the best way to achieve and maintain good oral health is by having an oral hygiene routine in place. This should include brushing at least twice a day, flossing every day and bringing your child to visit Piedmont Pediatric Dentistry here in Greensboro, North Carolina.
