Is periodic snacking harmful?
Just like sweets, snacking is difficult to avoid. But see to it that the child eats right type of snacks. Avoid cokes, chips, burgers, and biscuits. Rather ask your child to bite an apple or carrot. Not only are raw fruits and vegetables nutritious but also rich in fibres and help to clean teeth and make them stronger. Frequent snacking should be avoided. We do not brush or rinse after every snack. Food particles remain on teeth longer and the bacteria enjoy themselves gorging on these snacks rich in carbohydrates and form acids.
