A study published in the Journal of Dentistry cites Japanese research that yogurt seems to reduce the risk of cavities in children. The study shows that eating yogurt at least four times a week reduced the chances of three-year-olds developing cavities by 22 per cent, compared to those who ate it less than once a week. Other dairy products like cheese, butter, and milk did not show the same benefits for teeth as yogurt.
A word of caution - some yogurts have lots of sugar, and those types of yogurts may reduce the anti-cavity benefits of the yogurt. A link to the article can be found below.
