Did you know Diet is super important to keep your child's teeth healthy?
Sugars
Sadly, the bacteria in our mouths that produce molecules harmful to our teeth, gums, and overall oral health love sugar.
Sugars are particularly common in sweets, biscuits, cakes, juices, and even in some fruits more than others.
Of course, we would never advise against eating fruit, but it’s best to enjoy fruit alongside meals to reduce the impact of those sugars.
Regarding fruit juices, our principal dentist, Amandine, loves freshly squeezed orange juice and completely understands its appeal. However, juices have lost their fibre content — the very structure that helps to “hide” the sugar. In addition, the vitamin C content in juices is often lower because much of it is lost during processing. If you want the full health benefits of oranges (which are many!), it’s best to eat them whole.
Avoid giving children juice between meals, and if they really want juice, serve it alongside food. Lastly, remember that juices can be quite acidic, which can harm tooth enamel as well.
Dairy
The reason dentists are keen to add dairy to your child's diet is not just the calcium which contributes to great functioning of your child's full body, like strong teeth, bone, healthy muscles etc but also because of a protein called casein. Casein is great because it counteracts acidity in the mouth and is a great protector for your child's teeth!
Dairy also contains magnesium which contributes to healthy working muscles. We use strong chewing muscles to digest our meals.
Fibre
Fibre has great nutritional value for your child. For their teeth specifically, it helps reduce the impact of sugars that contribute to tooth decay, and it also works a little like a toothbrush or floss by helping to keep teeth clean. While it won’t replace your child’s regular brushing sessions, it definitely contributes to a healthy mouth!
You can find fibre in many foods — for example, broccoli, oatmeal, nuts, and even popcorn (as long as it’s without added sugar, of course)!

"From Tiny Teeth to Big Smiles!"
When will your child's teeth appear?
Baby teeth usually start appearing when your child is around 6 months old. By the time they are 30 months old, they usually have all their milk teeth.
The first adult tooth is a molar (right at the back of the mouth!) which appears around 6 years old 🎂 — this tooth is special because it doesn’t replace a baby tooth and won't need the help of the tooth fairy.
Around this time, baby teeth start falling out too and are replaced with strong adult teeth.
By around age 14 (sometimes sooner!), all adult teeth are usually present and milk teeth have waved goodbye.
The last teeth to arrive are wisdom teeth. They’re extra special — some people never get them at all, but if they do, they usually appear between 18 and 25.
