🦷 Snack Smart for Healthy Smiles! 🦷

Not all snacks affect teeth the same way. Here’s how to choose wisely:

🟢 LOW CARIES RISK
Water-rich, low sugar, and tooth-friendly foods that rinse away easily
🥕🥦🧀💧

🟡 MODERATE CARIES RISK
Natural sugars or starches — okay in moderation, best with meals
🍌🍞🧀🍇

🔴 HIGH CARIES RISK
Sticky, sugary, or slow-melting snacks that stay on teeth longer
🍬🍪🥤

✨ Pro Tip:
Frequency matters more than amount! Pair snacks with water and brush twice & floss 2x daily !

Let’s do the math:
4 years undergrad ✅
4 years dental school ✅
2 years masters ✅
2 years residency ✅
Written + oral boards ✅

Becoming Board Certified in Pediatric Dentistry takes more than textbooks — it takes grit, sleepless nights, and a whole lot of heart. 💙

So when we share advice, it’s coming from a decade of study and passion. Trust the process, and trust your pediatric dentist 😉🪥

A little spacer today… a smoother orthodontic journey tomorrow! 🙌
Spacers keep teeth from drifting when a baby tooth is lost early - saving space, time, and future stress for your kiddo.
Growing smiles done right! 😁💫

✨ We asked Dr. Marina, “What’s your favorite part of being a pediatric dentist?”
💬 Her answer: “Watching my little patients grow! They come with the most exciting stories—and seeing them overcome their fears and anxieties melts my heart every time.”

💖 At First Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, once you walk through our doors, you’re part of the family.
Our little patients grow up here… and even our big ones never want to leave! 😄🦷💫
