Are you ready for Fall?  It's just a week away!  Fortunately, not all Fall snacks are unhealthy.  There are plenty of treats that are good for growing bodies and teeth!

Healthy Autumn Snacks:

Autumn Fruit Salad
Fall is the season for apple picking!  Apples are also one of the best foods for your teeth!  The extra crunch helps keep tiny teeth clean while they snack.  Add apples, pears, and grapes to your autumn fruit salad.  Check out the recipe here.

Fall Parfait
Yogurt is good for you and your teeth.  It has vitamin D that helps keep teeth healthy!  Create a Fall parfait with yogurt cinnamon, pecans and apple slices!

Cheese Platter
Cheese is filled with calcium (and sometimes vitamin D).  While eating it in excess is bad for you, it is a great way to get calcium for strong bones!
