Healthy teeth....healthy me.... | Trafford Publishing

Trafford Publishing Author Kathleen Squire. I have been a dental hygienist for over fifteen years. I love my job, which involves helping people care and maintain their teeth. Teaching others to care for their teeth with proper dental hygiene and good nutrition has been very rewarding. I was inspired to write a book for my son, Ryan, to bring into his classroom during National Children’s Dental Health Month, to teach his class about healthy habits for their teeth. I wanted to be able to have a fun way of teaching others that caring for your mouth will benefit your body as well. I live in Peru, New York, with my husband, Bob, my son, Ryan, and our chocolate Lab, Dutch. Living in the Adirondacks allows us to enjoy the great outdoors every season. Some of the things we like to do include skiing, hiking, boating, and cycling. And for me more recently, writing.

Be sure not to snack throughout the day. There is a word for that; it is called graze. Grazing is something that cows can do. They munch on grass the whole day through. The grass does not cause tooth decay. That is why they can do it every day. But when people graze, they do not eat grass. They tend to eat a crunchy food snack. These are the types that stick to your teeth. When mixed with plaque, they’ll form a cavity! Also beware of sipping on drinks all day As they coat your teeth and cause decay. If you must sip, choose H2O. There is nothing harmful in that, you know.
