Keeping teeth healthy

It is also important to think about maintaining healthy teeth. We need to try to reduce the amount of sugar that we eat and drink to avoid tooth decay. Dental experts recommend that:

  • We only have sweet food, including dried fruits or fruit juice, at mealtimes
  • We have 'safe snacks' that don't contain sugar in-between meals. Some good examples of safe snack ideas are fresh whole fruit and vegetables like a banana, an apple, or some carrot sticks
  • We stick to drinking only water and milk in-between meals
