When you eat healthy foods, your body and teeth will be healthier as well. A healthy diet can give a body the vitamins, minerals (even fluoride), fiber, carbohydrates, protein and fats it needs. It's important to follow the food pyramid guidelines eating mostly vegetables and fruits, fewer proteins, even less red meats and very little fats and sugars.
Children grow, as do their teeth. Thus, without a healthy diet their teeth won't develop properly. When they don't get the proper nutrients, teeth can get dark yellow or brown spots on the enamel. Damaged enamel will be more likely to need fillings.
While most parents think fruit juice is healthy, even watered down juice is like liquid candy to the teeth. It's recommended you only give children formula, milk or water until the age of 3 years old. They are healthiest if given less sugary beverages.
Not only do sugary snacks give way to excessive weight gain, but it can also feed the bacteria in the mouth and cause cavities, bad breath and ultimately gum disease. If your child eats a lot of sugar on one night (like Halloween), it's not nearly as bad as if they eat a little bit each day. Even natural foods can have large amounts of sugar.
Snacks like carrots, apples, oranges, low-fat cheese and low-fat yogurt is best for a child's teeth
