While regular dental hygiene practices like brushing and flossing are essential, nutrition also plays an important role in ensuring strong and healthy teeth. At Parkland Pediatric Dental, we’d be happy to discuss with you ways to improve your child’s dental health via nutrition. Here’s a look at some of the ways that nutrition impacts children’s dental health. Calcium and Strong Teeth Calcium is a mineral that plays a key role in the development and maintenance of strong teeth and bones. It is an essential component of tooth enamel, the protective outer layer of teeth. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt are excellent sources of calcium. Incorporating sufficient levels of calcium into your child’s diet helps in the formation of strong teeth that are better equipped to resist decay.  Vitamin D for Tooth Development Vitamin D is crucial for the absorption of calcium in the body. Sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, and foods like fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified dairy products are also good dietary sources. Adequate vitamin D intake is necessary for the proper development of teeth, ensuring they grow strong and healthy. Phosphorus and Tooth Mineralization Phosphorus, another essential mineral, works in tandem with calcium to promote optimal tooth mineralization. It is found in abundance in foods like fish, nuts, and dairy products. Including a variety of phosphorus-rich foods in a child's diet contributes to the formation of robust tooth structure. Limiting Sugar Intake The role of sugar in dental cavities is well-established. Bacteria in the mouth feed on sugars, producing acids that erode tooth enamel and lead to cavities. Limiting the intake of sugary snacks, sodas, and candies helps reduce the risk of tooth decay. Instead, encourage children to opt for fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains as healthier alternatives.

Fluoride is a naturally-occurring mineral that can be found in a variety of foods, such as potatoes, raisins, and oatmeal. In terms of dental health, fluoride plays an important role because it enhances the strength of enamel, providing protection from tooth decay. At Parkland Pediatric Dental, we provide fluoride treatments for children in the greater Gilbert, AZ area. And we’d be happy to discuss any of your questions about fluoride and how it relates to your child’s dental health. Here’s a look at four interesting facts about fluoride. Fluoride Added to the Water In the United States, fluoride is commonly added to water supplies as a way to improve the population’s oral health. Fluoridated water can reduce the risk of tooth decay by 25%. In Gilbert, AZ, the water is fluoridated at a rate of about 0.7 mg/L, which falls in line with recommendations from the American Dental Association. Fluoride is Abundant in the Natural World Fluoride is a common mineral that comes from fluorine, which is an abundant element. Fluoride is released from rocks into the soil and bodies of water. Plants take in fluoride from the soil, which is how a variety of food crops contain small amounts of fluoride. And while fluoride is naturally present in water, it’s not usually at a level that offers benefits to oral health, which is why water supplies are further fluoridated. Fluoride Toothpaste Should Be Used from a Very Young Age As soon as that very first tooth arrives, it should be brushed two times per day with a tiny dab (about the size of a rice grain) of fluoride toothpaste. At age three, this can be increased to a pea-sized amount. Fluoride Treatments Are a Popular Option for Children Fluoride treatments are a great way to ensure that your child is getting enough fluoride to optimize enamel strength. These treatments are especially beneficial for kids who have an insatiable sweet tooth, making them particularly cavity prone.
