Boomer Docs Talk about Keeping Kids Healthy

 

When it comes to getting your teens, tweens and little ones to eat healthy, nutritious food, does the term "food fight" best describe the relationship you have with the dependents in your house? Is getting nutritious, healthy food your kids will eat a daily challenge? Well, help is on the way. DC area pediatrician and author Dr. Howard Bennett joins me to talk about how to find peace at the dinner table, no matter the degree of pickiness in your family members. With over 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Bennett routinely makes the "Top Doctor" listings in Washingtonian magazine, and has appeared national TV shows, including NBC Nightly News, World News Tonight and CNN. His new picture book, "Lions Aren't Scared of Shots," will be the subject of an upcoming segment on the Today Show on NBC.


 

What foods present the biggest challenges to our teeth, and what's the role of fluoride and dental sealants? In the midst of all the snack food offerings presented to teens and kids, how can parents and other caregivers keep their teeth healthy and cavity-free? Chevy Chase pediatric dentist Dr. Ricardo Perez of Metropolitan Pediatric Dentistry joins me to offer straightforward, manageable strategies to win the fight against tooth decay. Dr. Perez, in practice for more than 14 years and whose career follows in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, was selected as a "Top Doc" by Washingtonian magazine.
