Your Diet 
To feel right, it’s important to eat right. That means a balanced diet full of foods that provide you, and your family, with the proper amounts of protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals and water.

Your children's oral health will be forever compromised - especially if they don't get the proper nutrients during the first three years of their lives.
Even if you eat right, your oral health could still be in danger. Most foods provide nourishment for bacteria in the mouth. Bacteria feed on sugar and turn it into acids that erode your teeth, which can lead to cavities. This doesn't mean you should eliminate sugar from your diet. Just use carbohydrates - sugars and cooked starches - wisely and in moderation. More >>
