Healthy Food for your Child’s Teeth by QC Dentistry
                     
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!
