Snack Attack!
10 August 2015 . Posted by Laurelyn in Tips and Tricks
Tooth decay depends on several things but the main culprits are the bacteria in our mouths and the sugar in our diets.
Every time we have snacks processed with sugar, the bacteria “eat” too.
They create acids from sugary foods and drinks which make the holes in teeth.
And that includes natural fruit sugars as well as lollies.
It’s best to limit snacks and avoid constant nibbling or sipping all day.
Nurturing a love of wholesome foods and sticking to mealtimes are better ways to avoid decay.
