2Snacking!
- Do you eat between meals?

3Snacks between meals are a way for you to get
all the food you need each day to
- Grow

- Have healthy bones, skin, and teeth
- Help you think
- Help you learn and be your best
4Now lets learn or review two words.
Diet and Nutrition
5 Your diet includes all the food you eat each day
whether the food is healthy or not (junk food).
Your diet needs to include a variety of foods in
order for you to have good nutrition.
6Nutrition Is the way your body uses the foods
you eat! With good nutrition your body, including
your teeth, will grow and work right.
7 At your age, foods eaten as snacks can be an
important part of your diet. But, if you make
poor choices, snacks can cause tooth problems.
8What kinds of snacks cause tooth problems?
- Sugary snacks and drinks (soda pop)
- Sticky snacks
- Snacks that stay on your teeth
9Lets talk about why these snacks are not healthy
for our teeth!
10Everyone has germs called bacteria in their mouth.
- Each day a thin film called PLAQUE forms on your
teeth and gums. Its filled with bacteria. - Bacteria are very small --- you need a microscope
to see them. - Sticky, sugary foods left on your teeth are a
meal for bacteria.
11Bacteria in the PLAQUE turns food on your teeth
into acid.

12To understand an acid attack on your teeth, we
need to first look at the tooth structure.
13The Enamel is
- The outside layer.
- A hard protective cover.
- It is the hardest substance in our body, even
harder than bone.

14The Dentin is
- Underneath the enamel.
- Makes up the largest part of a tooth.
- Hard, but not as hard as enamel.

15The Pulp is
- The soft space inside the tooth, underneath the
dentin. - Has blood vessels and nerves.

- Starts on the tooths enamel
- Can cause a hole in the tooth called a cavity
