discerning diet for a healthy dentition!

The diet, that is, the food and drinks your child consumes, has a great influence on the health of the teeth and gingival of your child. 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.

One warm meal
1 glass of milk
2 pieces of fruit
3 portions of vegetables
1 slice of whole-meal bread

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.
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.
