Back to School Routine

For a back-to-school routine, it's great to pack snacks that are not only healthy but also promote good dental health. The key is choosing foods that are low in sugar and high in nutrients that strengthen teeth, like calcium and vitamins. Here are some healthy snack ideas that are good for teeth:

Apple Slices & Cheese – Apples are nature’s toothbrush, scrubbing away plaque, and cheese is rich in calcium and vitamin D, both essential for strong teeth and bones.

Carrot Sticks & Hummus – Crunchy carrots stimulate saliva, which helps neutralize harmful acids. Carrots are also high in vitamin A, which strengthens tooth enamel.

Hard-Boiled Eggs – A protein powerhouse with vitamin D, which helps your body absorb calcium and keeps teeth and gums healthy.

Plain Yogurt with Berries – A low-sugar snack full of calcium for strong teeth, and berries are high in vitamin C, which supports healthy gums.

Cucumber Slices & Turkey Roll-Ups – Hydrating cucumbers stimulate saliva, while turkey provides vitamin B12, which is vital for keeping gums and oral tissues healthy.

Water is the best drink to pack—keeps kids hydrated and helps wash away food particles for a clean, healthy smile!
