Helpful Tips:
Smart Snacking
There are many important factors to consider when choosing a snack. It is not only what you eat as a snack, but how often you snack. Here are some important facts about how snacking affects your teeth and things to consider when choosing a snack.
Snacking & Tooth Decay
Everyone has plaque bacteria in their mouths. Most snacks that you eat contain sugar and starches that turn into acid; soft drinks, juice, cookies, candy, even potato chips and pretzels. When the sugar meets with the plaque it creates acid, causing a “plaque attack” on your teeth.
It Is How Often That Matters
Selecting Healthy Snacks
DO’S | DON’TS |
Cherrios | Fruit Roll-Ups/Gummy Snacks |
Goldfish (Whole Grain) | Gummy Snacks |
Crackers | Candy Coated Fruit |
Pretzels | Cookies |
Popcorn | Candy |
Fresh Fruit | Canned Fruit in Heavy Syrup |
Canned Fruit In Natural Juices | Popsicles |
Cheese Cubes | Sodas |
Fresh Vegetables | Caprisuns/Juice |
Yogurt | Kool-Aid |
Milk | Gatorade/Powerade |
Water | Flavored Milk |
By limiting the number of times and type of snacks your child eats and brushing twice a day you can fight back against plaque!
Please note: If your child has been placed on a special diet due to a medical condition, this may not apply. Please continue to follow the doctor’s recommendation.
