Want a better smile? Say cheese! It’s true, eating cheese can help prevent tooth decay.
In a study published in the journal General Dentistry, children given cheese to eat over milk or sugar-free yogurt had rapid pH increases in the mouth, which is better for tooth decay-free teeth! The casein protein found in cheese helps to fortify the tooth’s surface and protect against cavities. It’s low in sugar and acid, and high in calcium.
So in honor of today being National Cheese Day, we wanted to share some of our favorite cheesy recipes for your kids:
