Establish good dietary habits
• In order to reduce the frequency of snacks, we should eat a sufficient amount
of food during breakfast, lunch and dinner at regular intervals.
• If you feel hungry in between meals, you can snack once.
• If you want to take snacks or beverages, you can eat or drink them right
after meal.
• When you feel thirsty, just drink plain water to quench thirst.
• To avoid sensitive teeth caused by acidic erosion, you should take less acidic
food or beverages such as pickles, dry plums, lemons, sports drink, soft drink,
alcoholic drink, etc.
• To avoid tooth fracture, one should avoid biting on hard food such as bones,
shells, etc.
• People who wear denture should avoid chewing on hard or sticky food to prevent
the denture from dislodging or becoming difficult to clean.
• Parents can use stationeries, stickers, or praisings instead of snacks to
reward their children.
