It starts with a proper lunch, says Kathleen Pace, DDS, an assistant professor at Texas A&M University Baylor College of Dentistry, who shares her advice on encouraging smile-friendly habits in children as they start school.
School lunches have taken centre stage in the interest of maintaining children's overall health, says Pace, yet dental health has faded into the background in the face of consequences such as obesity that stem from unhealthy school lunches.
"Dental cavities are a prevalent disease in our childhood population," says Pace, adding that natural foods are lower in sugar and therefore less damaging to teeth.
