What does it take to keep your child protected against tooth decay? Daily care should certainly include careful teeth cleanings, and they should have regular visits with their pediatric dentist scheduled. You can also protect your child’s growing smile by making smart choices regarding what they eat and drink. Limiting sugar by providing healthy meals and snacks will benefit their oral and general health. Instead of serving up sweet and processed snacks, healthy options like fresh fruit and vegetables can prevent cavity issues as they also support their overall well-being. If you have questions about this or any other matter regarding your child’s dental health, you can bring them up during their next appointment at our Dallas, TX pediatric dentist’s office. (more…)
