Research shows that what a mother eats during pregnancy has a greater impact on her children’s dental health than we may think.

Diet during pregnancy can impact how strong a child’s teeth are and how likely they are to get cavities in the future.

Although there are no standardized recommendations on diet during pregnancy from a dental health perspective, several nutrients play a role in a child’s future teeth.

Incorporate foods with calcium, vitamin D and Vitamin A to help build strong teeth early on.

Be sure to follow along for more dental and nutrition tips to keep your family’s teeth healthy and strong.
