Oral hygiene :  Nutrition hazards
Our nutrition can play an important role in maintaining good oral health. A proper diet must be balanced and to include all the main food groups as : fruits and vegetables, milk products, meat, fish etc. 

  The dental plaque, the main enemy of your good oral health, is growing feeding itself from the sugar of your food.

  The habit of consuming sweets is developed from the very first years of life. In most cases the parents are responsible for it because they give their kids foods with sugar to keep them happy and quiet.

  Between meals give to your children fruits, vegetables or cheese instead of cakes or biscuits. They are both nutritious and safe for the teeth. Control the consumption of sugar.

  If the kids are encouraged to this type of nutrition from small age they will reduce the sugar consumption for the rest of their life.
