What Did You Eat This Easter?

Did you know that there are healthier foods to eat for your teeth. 

Many foods are acidic and harmful to your tooth enamel.

Eating foods with lower PH level and less sugars decreases your risk of damaging your tooth enamel. 

Carrots, celery, nuts, and cheeses are all great healthy snacks for your teeth.

If you are eating sugars like candy and sodas TRY eating the candy with your lunch instead of eating it alone.

Or if your eating crackers TRY adding cheese and salami to your crackers.
