Are all snacks bad for my childs’ teeth?… No.

 Not all snacks are bad for your child’s teeth. In fact, snacks are an important part of a child’s daily food intake not just a “treat” between meals. Here are some suggestions on healthy snacks for hungry and thirsty children: applesauce, raw vegetables, raw fruits, fruit juices, vegetable juices, milk, cheese, cottage cheese, ice milk, milk puddings, yogurt, eggs, nuts, peanut butter, seeds, bagels, cereals, crackers, muffins, pita breads, yogurt drinks. Of course the healthiest thirst quencher is water and you should encourage your child to drink water throughout the day.
