Making good nutritional choices, especially if started at a young age, helps to maintain healthy teeth throughout your life.
Combining the right nutritional choices with proper dental maintenance helps to ensures proper oral health.
|
The accumulation of plaque, a film of saliva, mucus, bacteria, and food residue (particularly from food that are high in sugar and starch) that builds up on the surface of teeth, can lead to decay and gum disease.
This build up is limited by consistent brushing and flossing combined with healthy food choices.
Overall, the key to healthy teeth lays in a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, limiting unhealthy snacks, proper oral care, and seeing your dentist on a regular basis. |

Sugar filled drinks such as sodas and pops have been getting a lot of attention lately. They are even considering warning label similar to cigarettes on their packaging!
|
If you enjoy the occasional pop with lunch or during the work day here are some tips to limit the damage to your teeth.
For starters try the sugar free versions, they are less likely to cause cavities (although they still damage enamel).
Drink your pop during a meal, drink through a straw (to minimize contact with teeth).
Follow a pop with a good drink of water to rinse your mouth clean.
Brush your teeth gently after you're done.
Most importantly limit your pop consumption.
Remember that once sodas or sugary drinks pass through your teeth, the rest of your body has to deal with them and that's a whole other story!
