Nutritional Health & Dental Issues

Nutrition plays a very important role in a child's dental needs as well as their health and well being.

Choosing a Healthy Diet

Choosing a healthy diet may sound easy, however, fruits, milk, cereals, bread and some vegetables contain sugars and / or starches. Carbonated sodas, sweet fruit drinks and sugary snack foods should be limited.
