Milk does more than support strong bones. 🥛
Cheese, yogurt, and other dairy foods can help strengthen enamel and support a healthier smile.

Calcium and phosphorus help keep teeth strong, while cheese may even help balance acids in the mouth. 😁

Eating sweets with meals is better than snacking on them throughout the day, since saliva production is higher and helps wash away sugar and acids.

Frequent snacking gives bacteria more chances to produce acids that weaken enamel over time. 🍫
