Oral Health - Health tips
Centrum tip - Healthy diet, healthy teeth
Last updated: Wednesday, January 16, 2008
Diet plays an important role in protecting kids' teeth as they grow older and start getting their permanent teeth. Here's how to look after your kids' dental health.

Take action:
Make sure your child eats breakfast – research has shown that kids who don't eat breakfast have higher levels of tooth decay because they tend to snack more; include five servings of fruit and veggies in your child's diet every day – this will also lower the tendency to snack; limit your child's intake of bread, pasta and sugary snacks or drinks; and restrict your children to one glass of juice a day – rather include more water in the diet.
