Nutrition plays a fundamental role in children’s oral health and overall development, yet conversations about diet can be among the more challenging and overlooked aspects of preventative dental care.
In this CDA Oasis discussion, Dr. Nik Sharma, a pediatric dental specialist from Toronto, outlines some of the common dietary habits that contribute to dental caries in children today and explores practical strategies for discussing diet with parents and children.
Do you have a discussion topic or presentation you’d like to share with your colleagues on CDA Oasis or in CDA Essentials magazine? We'd love to hear from you! Topics can be related to the dental office setting, be clinical in nature, demonstrate social or community impact, and more!
