Title: Tooth-Friendly Diet What To Eat And What To Avoid
1Tooth-Friendly Diet What to Eat and What to
Avoid
2Taking daily care of your teeth includes more
than just brushing and flossing.
3The foods you eat can also have an effect on
dental health. Family dentists often recommend
foods that have a beneficial effect on overall
health and the health of your teeth.
4Other foods can have a detrimental effect on
tooth enamel and should be consumed with caution.
5Foods That Aid Dental Health
6If you want stronger, healthier teeth, make sure
your diet includes these foods
7 Milk and cheese Dairy foods provide calcium
in your diet, which helps to form new bone cells
in the body.
8Include some milk and cheese every day to ensure
that you get enough of this tooth-strengthening
mineral.
9 Crunchy fruits Apples and pears produce
nutrients with a bit of satisfying crunch.
10These fruits have a high water content, which
helps to dilute the sugar that they also contain.
11 Raw carrots and celery These vegetables are
not just healthy snacks for weight management
12They are also rich in nutrients and also increase
the amount of saliva in the mouth, which helps to
clean off teeth.
13 Nuts and seeds These foods are high in
nutrients and are good for overall health.
14In addition, cashews have strong antimicrobial
properties, which can help to prevent the
bacteria that cause cavities in teeth.
15 Raw onion Go ahead and enjoy that raw onion
on your burger.
16Onions have been found to be a powerful
anti-bacterial, which can help to prevent
cavities from developing on your teeth.
17Foods To Avoid
18 Coffee Cosmetic dentists often tell their
patients to limit the amount of coffee they
consume to avoid the inevitable staining that
occurs.
19If you cant do without your morning cup, brush
well after drinking it or rinse with clear water.
20 Citrus fruits Grapefruit juice, orange juice
and lemon juice are all highly acidic and can
damage tooth enamel.
21Although the vitamin C these fruits provide are
important, you should take measures to minimize
the damaging effects of the acid they contain.
22Ensure that you brush after eating citrus fruits
or drinking citrus juices.
23If you cannot conveniently brush, rinse your
mouth well with plain water to reduce the effect
of the acids.
24 Sticky candy Family dentists have
traditionally warned patients to avoid candy, but
some types of candy can be especially damaging.
25Sticky candy like caramels, taffy or Jujyfruit
26 Wine That traditional beverage with fine
dining can have a detrimental effect on tooth
enamel.
27Wine is highly acidic and can leave your teeth
vulnerable to staining from other foods.
28Both white and red wine can damage teeth. If you
must indulge, follow up the wine with a thorough
water rinsing.
29 Soft drinks/sports drinks Soft drinks leave a
thin film of sugar on teeth that are the perfect
medium for growing bacteria.
30Even sports drinks can have an acidic effect on
teeth that can damage tooth enamel.
31The appearance and health of teeth are important
matters for everyone.
32By choosing the right foods for your diet, you
can ensure that you are taking the best actions
to keep your teeth in top condition.
