Healthy fruits Sweet and sour, eaten in large
quantities, can lead to enamel erosion and
cavities. To restore the pH in children's mouths,
serve them with cheese or nuts - which will also
make the snack more nutritious! Chewing an apple
generates a lot of saliva, which helps wash away
bacteria and food debris from the mouth. They
are, therefore, undoubtedly apple, one of the
best fruits to eat for dental health! A quick
tip To limit your child's sugar intake, opt for
fruit canned in its juice or water rather than
fruit preserved in sweet syrups, as well as for
compotes made from 100 fruit and no added sugar.

Green vegetables The sugar concentration in
vegetables is usually too low for bacteria to
produce acid which can cause erosion and decay.
So always keep raw vegetables on hand! Rich in
vitamin A and C, celery helps strengthen the gum
tissue. With its crunchy texture, it rubs the
teeth, which cleans them briefly and eliminates
bacteria.   A quick tip  Dentist on Chinguacousy
Rd recommends keeping the peel of your vegetables
and fruit! In addition to enjoying the benefits
of the dietary fiber found there, your children
will chew more vigorously and their more abundant
salivary flow will briefly clean their teeth!

The drinks If your child is thirsty, prefer
water. Fruit juices (even natural and without
added sugar), soft drinks, and flavored waters
coat the teeth in sugar and keep saliva acidic
for a long time. This can promote the development
of cavities and enamel wear. However, when you
occasionally offer it to your children, here are
some rules that you can follow   A straw! To
avoid direct contact with teeth No more than 125
ml per day! Your child should rinse his mouth
with water after drinking a sugary drink Wait
before brushing your teeth! His enamel will have
been softened

Nuts and dried fruits Even though they sometimes
get stuck between the teeth, nuts and seeds do
not promote the formation of cavities. As they
are rich in fiber, they stimulate the production
of saliva, protecting the enamel. They also
contain calcium and phosphorus, minerals
essential for healthy teeth.   A quick tip If
you give your child a mixture of dried fruit and
nuts, advise him to finish with nuts!
