Sugar-free carbonated drinks and acidic beverages, such as lemonade, are often considered safer for teeth than sugared … Continue reading →

Poor nutrition during pregnancy may make the unborn child more likely to have tooth decay later in life. Between the ages of 14 weeks to four months, deficiencies in calcium, vitamin D, vitamin A, protein and calories could result in oral defects.
