Q ． My child is 4 years old. He loves sweet snacks and juice, and I am worried that he may get tooth decay. Is there anything I should pay attention to in my daily life? ？
A ． To prevent tooth decay, it is important to set a snack time, to avoid sloppy eating or drinking, and to eat in a way that does not interfere with meals. Snacks for children are also meant to provide energy and mental satisfaction. Snacks should be non-sweet foods such as small rice balls. Ionic drinks and vegetable juices contain sugar, which can lead to tooth decay. Drink water or tea as your daily beverage except when you are sick or sweating, and make it a habit to brush your teeth when you eat sweet foods or drinks. Other important measures to prevent tooth decay include daily brushing by parents and regular dental health checkups and fluoride applications at the family dentist's office.
