We have always recommended fresh fibrous fruit for snacks and after meals. Examples include raw carrots, peppers, broccoli, apples, pears, and peaches. Cheese is a great thing to have before any acidic fruits or juices, because it provides a waxy layer on the teeth that the acid needs to cut through before it gets to the enamel of the tooth. Try to encourage your child to eat their fruit at the end of their meal, we consider it natures toothbrush. Fibrous fruits and vegetables really brush along teeth and help remove any leftover lunch from the gum lines.
