How to Have Children with Perfect Teeth 

A new book by two doctors has documented 36 years of research for a preventive treatment for expectant mothers that will guarantee perfect teeth for their unborn children. At three months pregnant, mother-to-be should start 4.4 mgs of sodium fluoride daily on an empty stomach, and not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes following. At delivery, start the infant on .7 mgs. of sodium fluoride daily with an increasing dosage to adulthood. For more information, the book is "How to Have Children with Perfect Teeth" by Frances B. Glenn, D.D.S. and William Darby Glenn III, M.D., publisher, 1stbooks, 2000; Web site: 1stbooks.com. The book is available at bookstores or may be ordered on the Web.

Question of the Week

Question: 
I have two young children, ages nine and seven. They love to go Christmas shopping with me and help pick out gifts for their family and teachers. They like to visit Santa and take in the whole holiday ambiance of our town. My problem is that in every store we go, shopkeepers and clerks give my children Christmas cookies and/or candies, gingerbread men and other holiday sweets. I don't allow my children to eat these things as it is not healthy and is very bad for their teeth. They also get hyperactive. I try to circumvent the offering but sometimes they accept the treats before I get the chance to object. Once they have them, I can not take them away without protests. How can I handle this problem?

Answer: 
Admittedly, holiday time is a minefield of temptations. Health-conscious people have to be on the alert and use judgment and moderation for this massive assault on the senses of the calorie laden, sugar sopped treats. Try taking your children into department stores. Most do not offer treats. 

Although recent medical research has failed to prove that sweets cause hyperactivity in children, we do not recommend that children eat sweets. We agree with you that sweets are not healthy and are laden with fat and sugar and cause cavities in teeth. It is, however, holiday time and you might bend a bit. Be upfront with your children. Have a talk and decide together what would be a reasonable amount of treats to consume in a day during the holidays. One Christmas cookie, a candy cane? Let them in on the decision to moderate their intake but let them choose one favorite thing each day that is allowed.  Good luck.
