“But it’s just fruit!”??
Even healthy snacks can increase the risk of tooth decay when they’re eaten too often.
Every time your child eats, their mouth becomes more acidic and their enamel needs time to recover. Snacking all day (even on “healthy” foods) keeps teeth in that acid danger zone, which can lead to decay over time.
So what can you do?
✅ Space out meals and snacks
✅ Choose options with fat + protein to keep kids fuller for longer
✅ Let teeth rest between eating
You don’t need to eliminate snacks, just make small changes that protect the teeth.
