Eating for Stronger Teeth


Keeping your teeth healthy by monitoring what you eat and drink is just as important as practicing good hygiene. Did you know that your teeth's enamel constantly absorbs nutrients in your saliva, and that maintaining a normal PH balance in your mouth can be the difference between getting cavities and a healthy smile? 

The things we eat and drink make contact with our teeth so it is important to avoid consuming too many sugary sweets or acidic foods. On the other hand, some foods can help protect your teeth, making them stronger. Consuming dairy products which contain minerals link phosphorous and casein can even help your teeth repair themselves!

Preventing cavities is much easier and less expensive than treating decay, so practice healthy habits for a stronger set of teeth! Learn more at our website about what to eat and drink for stronger teeth.
