* Avoid sticky, chewy gooey foods -- Foods like fruit leather, raisins,
caramel, honey, molasses and syrup stick to the teeth making it hard
for saliva to wash away.

Encourage
children to drink a fluid with meals, which also helps with food
removal.
* Snack as few times between meals as possible -- Each time your child
eats a sugary or starchy food, bacteria in the mouth gobbles it up,
creating a destructive acid.

Healthy eating
is an easy way to make sure children get the nutrition they need for good
general and oral health. The longer sugar is allowed to remain on
the teeth, the more damage is done."

It's not that you can't have candy, but
make sure you follow it by brushing or with a good snack like cheese to change

Fruits with
concentrated sugar, such as bananas and raisins, should be limited,

them brush their teeth right after they're done. The more times a child
snacks, the more often this cavity-producing acid is allowed to work
on the teeth. For an
extra $10-$15 a day , we spend the extra hours each week ordering food
and planning the menus, portion sizes and recipe alterations that
clients would have to do anyway.

Aaron, Chief Clinical Officer, Gentle Dental.
* Serve sugary treats with meals, not as snacks -- If you're going to
give your child candy or anything sweet, serve it for dessert right
after a meal.
* Stay away from sugary foods that linger on the teeth -- Foods that
stay in the mouth for a long time, like lollipops, hard candy, cough
drops and gum, give teeth a sugar bath. Although milk also contains a sugar called
lactose, it is more nutritionally sound than its sugary counterparts.
