Did
you know that a poor diet can lead to gum disease and tooth decay? Your diet
can make a great difference in your oral health and ultimately your smile. Foods
high in carbohydrates, sugars and starches contribute to the production of
plaque acids that attack the tooth enamel. These acids can cause tooth enamel
to break down, forming a cavity. If left untreated this can cause pain and
ultimately the loss of the tooth. Almost all foods, including milk and
vegetables, contain some type of sugar; however; these foods are a necessary
part of a healthy diet, because many of them also contain important nutrients
that are beneficial for your body.
Foods that are high in vitamin C, D, and nutrients like calcium
and phosphorus are essential to healthy teeth. Calcium and phosphorous are the
main minerals that are the building blocks of tooth enamel and consuming foods
rich in these is a necessity if you want to maintain strong and healthy teeth.
Take charge and make the right changes in your diet to improve
your smile. Introduce foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals like yogurt,
cheese (hard, aged), seafood, milk (low-fat), tofu, almonds, pumpkin seeds, fish, Brazil nuts, red meat, eggs, tofu, celery, apples, cucumbers, and carrots.
Also, limit your intake of foods that are high in sugars. To help
control the amount of sugar you consume, make sure to read food labels and make
the right choices. Start with small changes in your diet to make sure you stick
with it.
