Caring for your teeth and mouth are one and the same for optimum oral health. Keeping care simple but keeping it steady guarantees having optimum health for your teeth and mouth for life!
Foods to Avoid for the Health of Teeth and Mouth
Avoiding foods that contain high amounts of sugar or acid is a good general rule. Either of those ingredients can do great damage to your teeth. Also, too much acid can affect your salivary glands causing the mouth to be dry and creating a hot bed for bacteria. We naturally produce three pints of saliva each day. Saliva is the natural lubricant for the mouth, preventing foods and bacteria from sticking to teeth. Consider saliva the health drink for your teeth! Minimizing your intake of sugar and acids will keep your teeth and mouth healthy.
Alcohol can be just as damaging, so if you drink alcohol, try to cut down on consumption and make certain to accompany your drinks with a tall glass of water.
