Why is all this so important for baby teeth that will fall out?

Dental hygienists do more than just clean teeth and take x-rays. Their job is to focus on preventive care—on teaching patients how to care for their teeth. For children, that starts with the parents even before the baby is born.
 
 Children need snacks, plus they like that. Here are some tips:
 
 Reduce the number of times your child consumes sugar (liquid or solid) each day. If your child sips fruit juice or soft drinks while he plays, his mouth will be continuously coated sugar. It is better to give him water between meals.
 
 Do not give foods high in sugar, which remain long in the mouth such as gum containing sugar, lollipops and other hard candy. Avoid giving sweets that stick to teeth like caramel and raisins.
 
 Keep nutritious snacks handy where your child can access. Have carrot sticks or cubes of cheese in the bottom of the refrigerator. Children like this is like little mini-boxes or packages of cereal, nuts or seeds, and berries and vegetables that you have chosen the age of your child. Keep them in the bottom of the closet.
 
 Avoid sweets at home and we do not ask. If you serve, do so during meals: eating, your child produces more saliva, which helps neutralize the damaging effects of sugar.
