Here are some amazing tips and tricks on natural ways to make (and keep) your teeth strong!
It’s simple: we are what we eat. Many studies show that overall health is directly linked with oral health and it all boils down to your diet. Yes, having healthy teeth involves maintaining healthy oral care habits but it also has to do with what you eat daily. As your dentist, it is our job to help you maintain your teeth through routine check-up, cleanings and exams but it is also our job to educate our patients on what they can do at home and in their everyday life.
Natural ways to help keep your teeth strong include:
- Stay away from sugar: Sugar causes decay and can slowly eat away at your tooth enamel, which will eventually cause serious problems. Limit sugar intake to a bare minimum.
- Reduce consumption of acidic food: this means coffee, chocolate and even meat. These items will increase the PH level in your body and will create the perfect environment for bacteria growth.
- Increase minerals and vitamins: Take a daily multivitamin. This will improve your overall health and energy levels.
- Drink lots of water: The recommended amount of water in ounces for your body is your weight divided by two. Drink up!
Remember, it is recommended that you visit your dentist every 6 months for a professional cleaning and check-up. Contact South Coast Aesthetics and Dental to schedule an appointment today!
