For all kids around the world, summer is the time for chocolates and lollipops, for cola and ice creams, for endless fun outdoors, and many other pleasant activities and foods. But we all know the outcome of this matter, the question is what are we to do about it??
Experts created a list for every today's mom and dad to take into account if they really care about their children's interest.
Let your child enjoy plenty of fresh fruit and veggies in summer, make your child drink less chemically manufactured juices and more natural made coolers.
Have a variety of ready vegetable salads and sliced fruit for your kid, make your child choose healthy snacks instead of all those chips and chocolate bars.
Make your child eat special detergent foods on a regular basis, fruits as apples, carrots or pears, can work as a toothbrush: refresh and clean your child’s mouth after eating chocolate, candies and other sweet foods. The veggies and fruit rich in fiber can clean up food particles stored between child’s teeth, this way preventing tooth decay. Give your child such detergent foods after every meal.
Help your child develop a habit of using a fluoride mouthwash to reduce chances of tooth decay.
Allow your child using sugar-free chewing gums. Chewing for 10-15 minutes can help in cleaning the teeth, removing food particles, washing away dangerous dental bacteria and preventing tooth decay. Also it stimulates saliva production which balance the Ph in your mouth and keep the acid level low decreasing the risk of decay.
Do not forget about regular brushing. It is essential to develop this habit since the early childhood.
