i'm not sure, but keep brushing their teeth every morning and every night. besides , now is not only about having healthy teeth, is more about developing diabetes. so have that in mind next time u give your child a candy.

I ate a lot of junk foods growing up and I've never had a cavity. Just make sure they brush and floss a lot.

yes, it is less likely, but yes. and a child can not brush his teeth and still have good teeth, unlikely but possible. some people have week enamel and consuming even a teaspoon a week will destroy them. others have stronger enamel and can live off candy and still not get any cavities. it is a matter of atrophy.

The child should brush his teeth at least twice a day, especially before bed. But I'd be more worried about other aspects of the childs health...diabetes and obesity, for example. Too much candy is just not good. Substitute some fresh fruit snacks or popcorn.

Yes, I ate lots of candy and other sweets as a child and didn't have my first cavaty until I was 14. I didn't have any others until I was over 30. I brushed regularly and had regular dental checkups including floride treatments every 6 months. I also think I was just blessed with good teeth. One of my dentists used to call me Ms. Perfect Teeth.

Listen to me and read this carefully. I had 8 cavities by the time I'm sixteen years old. I had two teeth removed by the time I was age 7 years old. Yes I knew how to brush my teeth and floss daily. But my mother was a sweets addict. My father liked sweets too. Sweets was never limited. I ate a lot of candy when I was four years old and never stopped until I saw the dentist when I was seven years old. The dentist put a drill and removed two of my teeth when I was 7 years old. All of that nonsense about eatting candy a lot and have good teeth? They're not true. I've experienced this in my life. And I'm still having work done on my teeth.
