With the growing amount of packaged food available in the market, people are generally tempted to serve them due to their taste, advertising, and attractive packaging. The major here lies in without getting proper knowledge of what nutrients they possess or failing to have a glance at their nutritional information gets us into trouble. One of the worst enemies in these packaged foods is trans-fat which causes many heart-related diseases.
-Lime sweets and aerated drinks/beverages: Do you know the amount of time for which your teeth are under severe stress when you serve some sugary food? To your surprise, it’s completely an hour. Imagine 60 minutes of stress to your teeth. This is an alarm bell to those parents who regularly give chocolates or sugary food to their children during the day in the form of treats. Under the age of 5 to 12 years, 33% of them show signs of tooth decay and the major cause attributed is sugar. The number of times you treat them with sugar-laced foods must be reduced or restricted only during meals since obvious reasons mentioned above no parent would want their child to face any dental issue.
-Look for sugar-free substitutes: Oral health care is not only the responsibility of parents but also of the neighborhood where we reside. Often, children are treated with some sugary stuff by our neighbors, so it’s a collective responsibility to avoid giving them such foods frequently. Did you know, there is nothing called a “sweet tooth” when a child is born. They are not born with a sweet tooth. If you’re in this misconception, then please put this on the back burner. If children from an early age, develop a habit or craving for sweets it’s due to their constant consumption of them. So, to avoid this scenario always have a habit of looking for or searching for sugar-free replacements. They are a good alternative and will lead to less damage. Here too, take time to look at the nutritional information behind the pack which is often neglected. Although some children might be stubborn and might not accept the alternative, it's a mind game so try and trick it while giving them the treat of conventional sugar.
-Sweets as a daily habit is a strict NO: During the developing stage, the child is growing, mentally and even physically and the body is in want of nutritious food which will maintain a good immune system in the long term. During their childhood, a wholesome diet of various nutrients is a must and must be a habit. A healthy diet is considered good oral hygiene! Gum disease can be prevented if a child regularly has an intake of proper vitamins, fresh vegetables, fruits, proteins, etc. This will help to keep gum disease at bay even in later stages of life. The discipline must be maintained and one of them is no sugar before an hour of bedtime. Sugar is the biggest antagonist and will directly attack your upper surface called enamel.
