S-milestone: Snack smart — protect little teeth!
✨ Not all snacks are created equal when it comes to your child’s smile.
✨ Sticky, sugary, and processed snacks may seem harmless, but they cling to teeth and feed decay-causing bacteria long after snack time is over.
🚫 Watch out for sticky snacks and refined carbs like muesli bars, roll-ups, dried fruit, crackers, biscuits, and sweetened yoghurts.
✅ Smile-friendly swaps:
🥕 Veggie sticks with hummus
🧀 Cheese cubes or plain yoghurt
🍓 Fresh fruit instead of juice or dried fruit
💡Tip: Save sweet treats for mealtimes when saliva is flowing and can help protect teeth.
