Toothbeary Diet Advice...

Discerning diet for a healthy dentition!

The better the child is nourished, the lower the caries risk. Often the nutritive value of a diet is badly understood and can lead to the loss of the substance of the teeth. Through our diet analysis we try to help your child maintain a good oral health.

Suggestions of a good diet

Daily at least:

One warm meal
1 glass of milk
2 pieces of fruit
3 portions of vegetables
1 slice of whole-meal bread
0.5 litre of water per 10 kg body weight

Valuable tips:

Sweets as little as possible
Better to have a big portion of sweets once than to nibble sweets the whole day long
Fruit juices or sweet drinks should be taken only during the main meals
3 portions of vegetables
Diet should comprise mainly cereals, potatoes, vegetables and fruit
Whole-meal bread is better than white bread
Strong spices and herbs stimulate the production of saliva
Chewing gum after food prevents the building of acid, thereby preventing caries
Beware! Even salty nourishment (e.g. ketchup) could contain sugar
