Sweets damage children&#8217;s &#8211; and adults&#8217; &#8211; teeth. That is why a few dietary tips should be followed from the earliest years:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All foods supply oral microbes with carbohydrates. The higher the carbohydrate content of the food (i.e., sugar and\/or starch), the easier and quicker it is for the pH of the mouth to drop due to the oral microbes metabolizing these foods.<\/li>\n<li>Eating habits are important but also play a decisive role in the development of caries. If the child frequently eats sweet \u201ctreats\u201d then their teeth are constantly in an acidic environment which favours the development of caries.<\/li>\n<li>For your child to have good general and oral health, they must have a balanced diet.<\/li>\n<li>Do not teach your child to daily consume \u201cjunk\u201d food. Candies, lollipops, chocolates, sweets, chips, soft drinks, etc. should only be given on special occasions such as parties and holidays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Be aware of the hidden sugar (carbohydrates) in what your children eat:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">read the label of every food before you buy it. Chocolate drinks, sweetened milk supplements, children&#8217;s yoghurts and all kinds of children&#8217;s desserts most often contain excessive amounts of sugar.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apply sensible rules for eating treats: right after lunch is a suitable time as there is plenty of saliva in the mouth to wash away the sugar.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Offer children fruit, vegetables, or cheese as a snack.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Remember that the best drink to quench a child&#8217;s thirst is water. Do not teach them to quench their thirst with packaged juices, soft drinks, or chocolate milk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, it&#8217;s not a lie what our parents told us.
