Chicago Cosmetic Dentist

One of the easiest ways to protect your child’s smile is to be conscious of the food that they are eating.

It is important to emphasize that reducing the number of sweets is extremely important for oral health.  Sugar speeds up the tooth decay process.  Sugar provides energy to the bacteria that causes tooth decay and other oral health problems.  Sugar is essentially a multiplier for tooth decay and should be limited for optimum oral health.

Limit your child’s intake of sugar.  Reduce the number of candy bars and reduce the soda that they are allowed to drink.  Read labels and identify products that contain lots of added sugar.  Make available more healthy, sweet alternatives such as fruit or juices.  Not only will this provide oral benefits,  but also overall health benefits.  Healthy habits established early are likely to carry over for many years.

If you or a family member is in need of quality dental care provided with a smile, you should call a Chicago family dentist.  Contact Chicago family dentist Dr. Bagai at 773.767.1554 to schedule an appointment today.
