Nutrition and Teeth

by | Jun 25, 2019 | Medical

 An apple a day keeps cavities away, right? You can help prevent tooth decay by making smart and healthy food choices. Choose fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low fat dairy products as well as lean proteins like turkey, chicken and fish. Limit intake of processed foods and beverages that are high in sugar as they can lead to tooth decay and obesity. You may also want to limit your alcohol intake since alcohol can irritate the sensitive lining of the mouth and may increase your risk of oral cancer.
If you’ve lost any teeth, it’s a great idea to replace them right away.
A full set of teeth will help you chew delicious and nutritious foods like meat, fruits, grains and vegetables. It also aids in your speech. Having missing teeth affects how we communicate. You may experience lisping or difficulty in speaking.
It is more common now that people take calcium supplement every day. It is believed that as we get older, we must take calcium to prevent bone loss or osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can happen in the jawbone , and when it does it may lead to your teeth becoming loose or falling out.
Many medications can affect the taste of your food, your food preferences and your appetite so be sure to report any changes in your eating habits to your medical doctor, dentist and hygienist.
