- Limit the number of times a day your child eats or drinks sugars
- Avoid sugary treats that stay in the mouth for a long time like hard candy or lollipops
- Avoid soft, sticky sweets that get stuck in your child’s teeth
- Serve sweets for dessert while there is still plenty of saliva in your child’s mouth to wash away the sugars
- Serve juice and milk during or at the end of mealtime. Drink water between meals
- Serve vegetables, cheese, nuts or seeds for snacks
- Have your child brush her teeth at least twice a day and before going to bed
