As part of the observance and in cooperation with the McHenry County Dental society, we are featuring some facts you should know about dental health. Question: Are there any special foods that contribute more than others to strong teeth? I want to help my children have good oral health. Answer: Keep in mind that a well balanced diet that promotes overall health promotes dental health, too. But if you have any questions about nutrition or meal- planning your family dentist will be able to give you some personalized nutrition coun­ seling. I Most people today eat far too many sweets and sugar-rich foods are a factor in dental decay. Simply, sugars activate the bacteria in the mouth, which in turns starts the for­ mation of decay-causing acids. So to help prevent dental decay, it is wise to limit the con­ sumption of sugar-rich foods and beverages to mealtimes. Avoid sugary foods between meils, especially hard candies, suckers, breath mints and the like. These foods are kept in the mouth for a long period of time and bathe the teeth continually in a pool of sugar, thus causing prolonged acid attacks on the teeth. Make sure meals include adequate amounts of food from the four basic food groups: Milk and dairy products (3-4 servings daily); meat and fish (2 or more servings daily); vegetables and fruits (4 or more servings daily), and bread and cereals (4 or more servings daily). The pre-school years are an excellent time to begin to help your children establish good eating habits. It is at this time that you can control their diets by providing the proper food and by eliminating an abun­ dance of between meal sweet snacks and soft drinks. In place of sugary snack foods, try serving such foods as raw vegetables, milk, cheese, nuts, eggs, fresh fruits, lun­ cheon meats, sugarless gum or candy and dietetic soft drinks. At the same time, avoid such foods as jams and jellies, dried fruits and all kinds of sugared candies, cereals, and pastries. Finally, don't reward good behaviour with cookies. Give the youngsters apples, pears, popcorn or peanuts instead. Coupled with good home oral hygiene habits and periodic visits to the dentist, a proper diet can help you and your family maintain healthy teeth for a lifetime.
