Techniques for properly brushing your teeth
In order to
maintain good dental health, you should maintain a healthy diet and good
nutrition. It is important to eat from all of the food groups, including
grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, meats/beans and eat some extras sparingly,
like oils and fats. A balanced diet is very important in helping to prevent cavities. Cavities are caused due to what we eat and how often those foods are eaten. Also, it is more important to know about Techniques for Brushing Your Teeth in a Right Way.
BEST FOODS FOR STRONG AND HEALTHY TEETH
Eating
apples, celery, and carrots can help remove plaque. If you do eat sweets with
sugar in it immediately brush after eating the sweets and this will help
prevent cavities. Also, another interesting fact is that sweets are less
harmful to teeth if eaten with the main meal, rather than between meals. Table
sugar is more harmful to teeth than sugars that occur naturally in fruits and
milk.
Food choices that are more nutritious for
teeth include the following, fruits, vegetables, berries, carrots, nuts, tomatoes, yogurt,
chicken, eggs, melons, turkey, salad, pineapple, pumpkin seeds, pears, cereal
(that is not high in sugar), sunflower seeds, popcorn, oranges, pizza, tacos,
cheese, celery and sugar-free gum/soda.
FOODS THAT HARM YOUR DENTAL HEALTH-
Food choices that cause tooth decay include
the following: candy, mints, sticky foods like jelly beans or caramels, fruit
juice, sugary drinks (like soda, sweet tea, and sweetened juice), cake, cookies,
cough drops, doughnuts, gum, honey, jams, jellies, molasses, pies, popsicles,
syrup and table sugar. Also, you should consider that many foods can become
stuck in our teeth when we eat and that can help cause tooth decay too.
Foods, such as bread, cereals, pasta,
crackers, and potato chips, if left in the mouth for long periods of time can
cause tooth decay. If you do not brush your teeth after eating these types of
things, the bacteria that live in your mouth breaks the food down into sugars
and then the sugars create cavities and tooth decay. This is why it is so
important to eat a well-balanced diet, eat sugary substances only on occasion
and with a meal, rather than as a snack and immediately brush teeth after
eating sugary substances to cut down the risk of developing a cavity.
According to the American Dental Association,
the following are recommended for good dental health: bread, cereals and other
grain products that provide vitamins for the healthy growth of teeth, dairy
products which provide calcium and Vitamin D for strengthening teeth, fruits
and vegetables which provide Vitamin C for healthy gums and lean meats, fish,
poultry and beans, which provide iron and protein for overall good health and
magnesium for healthy teeth.
