Dairy: Your Children's Dental Connection!

Healthy eating, combined with regular physical activity, play a vital role in your child's health and well-being.  Dairy foods are naturally nutritious, packed with ten essential nutrients that help your child feel good for life.  But did you know that dairy is also great for your child's dental health?  In addition to providing large amounts of much-needed calcium, dairy products also help fight cavities!  Dairy products have a specific role to play in dental health as they contain a unique combination of special anti-decay nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, and the protein, casein.  Cheese is especially useful, as eating a small piece of cheese after consuming sugary foods or drinks can help protect teeth and reduce the risk of tooth decay.

If you have any questions about the importance of dairy products in the role of dental health or are in need of an appointment, call our office at 918-455-0123!

God Bless,
