Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
While virtually all snacks contain some amount of sugars and carbohydrates, both of which lead to tooth decay and attract oral bacteria, there are ways to help your kids achieve good oral hygiene and avoid cavities.
1. As much as children may ask for sugary snacks, try to steer them towards healthier options, such as cottage cheese, yogurt, or carrot sticks
2. If you must indulge in candy, choose the sugar-free variety
3. Have your kids eat their sugars and carbohydrates at mealtimes, when salivary glands produce more saliva, which will assist in rinsing the mouth
4. Snack less often—that way, your child’s teeth will have less contact with cavity-causing bacteria
5. Provide your children with water (not sugary drinks) as their main source of hydration
6. Schedule regular checkups with your family dentist
