Make sure to buy tuna in water or brine, it is a healthier option to tuna in oil

If your child prefers baked potatoes, after boiling them, try putting them on a baking tray, spraying with oil or low calorie cooking spray and baking in the oven for 25 minutes or until golden

Protein-rich foods like fish, chicken and eggs contain phosphorus, which is great for building strong teeth
