"Eat to live, do not live to eat," I have been told over and over again. While I do my better to watch what goes on my plate and eventually into my mouth, I do not constantly think about the effect of certain foods on my dental health. Thinking about it today, I find it odd, given the way we consume. As children, the risks of consuming too much sugar are drilled into the heads of ours, and we are warned to go easy on chewing gum (and also to not swallow it). School posters of food pyramids tout which food items benefit which regions of the human body, but so what can we eat that also contributes to healthy, powerful teeth?
When you reach the grocery store in order to restock the pantry, focus on nutrition labels, and consider adding a few dental-friendly snacks to your cart. Below are a few suggestions to whet the appetite of yours.
One) Cheese and dairy. In case you're tolerant of lactose, try adding some yogurt, mild cheeses, and milk on the menu. Foods full of calcium are thought to help tooth strength and brightness.
Two) Lean proteins and nuts. The phosphorus found in some protein-rich foods can prove valuable in restoring minerals to your teeth, and in turn protecting the enamel.
Three) Low-acidic fruits. An apple 1 day keeps the doctor away, and one may well argue plenty of apples help during tooth visits. The crunchiness of the fruit helps work your teeth as you chew, thus the water content works as a buffer that protects your teeth from acid.
Four) Water. You should be drinking at least 8 glasses of water every day, regardless. Drinking water hydrates the body and is probably the most desirable liquid to consume for maintaining healthy teeth. If you like soda, coffee, and tea, however, try to minimize the intake and don't feel ridiculous about getting a toothbrush to work for use after lunch.
What about Sweeteners?
You could ask, what about diet soft drinks as well as pink packets for tea and coffee? Technically they are not sugar, but are artificial sweeteners as worse or bad for prodentim reviews the teeth of yours? You may prefer to check with your dentist about whether sugar substitutes are as damaging to enamel. Some non-sugar sweets may contain honey, stevia, agave, or other ingredients that may not sit well along with you health-wise, so it is better to check.
