This month consider the foods you offer your children that are helpful to their healthy smile.
✔️Crunchy fruits and vegetables stimulate saliva flow to wash away and neutralize acids that attack your child’s teeth.
✔️Dairy products contain calcium and phosphates that strengthen teeth by rebuilding enamel and putting minerals back in teeth.
❌Sugary food and drinks increase your child’s chances of tooth decay and cavities.
Schedule an appointment for your child at Well Child Center’s dental clinic by calling 847-930-6721.

Este mes, considere los alimentos que ofrece a sus hijos para que tengan una sonrisa saludable.
✔️Las frutas y verduras crujientes estimulan el flujo de saliva, eliminando y neutralizando los ácidos que atacan los dientes de su hijo.
✔️Los productos lácteos contienen calcio y fosfatos que fortalecen los dientes reconstruyendo el esmalte y reponiendo los minerales.
❌Los alimentos y bebidas azucarados aumentan el riesgo de caries en su hijo.

Ever wonder what helps your blood clot when you get a cut or keeps your bones strong? It’s Vitamin K, an essential nutrient! Vitamin K is especially important for growing babies, which is why newborns receive a shot of it right after birth. 👶

You can find Vitamin K in many vegetables, like spinach, kale, broccoli, and cauliflower! 🥦 Need a tasty way to use these winter veggies? Try this simple Basic Quiche recipe that’s perfect for loading up with vegetables: https://www.myplate.gov/recipes/basic-quiche.

¿Alguna vez se ha preguntado qué ayuda a que su sangre se coagule cuando se corta o qué es lo que mantiene sus huesos fuertes? ¡Es la vitamina K, un nutriente esencial! La vitamina K es especialmente importante para los bebés en crecimiento, por lo que los recién nacidos reciben una inyección de esta justo después del nacimiento.

¡Puede encontrar vitamina K en muchos vegetales, como las espinacas, la col rizada (kale), el brócoli y la coliflor! ¿Necesita una forma sabrosa de usar estos vegetales de invierno? Pruebe esta sencilla receta de quiche que es perfecta para llenarla de vegetales: https://www.jcfoodmart.com/es/2022/04/11/quiche-perfecto-para-la-primavera/.
