Diet, affects our teeth?
From cavities through to gum disease our mouths are becoming more and more traps for medical issues to arise. Drinking soda or soft drinks are almost as dangerous to our health as smoking is.
Companies are making a fortune by selling sugar disguised in a variety of ways generally by telling us that it is good for us. Other companies are making a fortune by selling us dental products to make us feel better about ourselves. Whether it be tooth brushes, electronic or manual, dental floss or teeth whitening products we seem to jump on them as a fast cure to what essentially is a larger issue.
If you are on a sugary diet, then you are probably more concerned about your weight and personal body issues than your teeth. Self-image is important to the majority of us but we fail to see the damage that sugar is doing to our waistlines along without teeth.
So how do we stop the tooth rot? My suggestion is that after every meal or sugary drink that you rinse your mouth with fresh water from the tap to eradicate the sugar residue. I also suggest that if you are a big drinker of sugary drinks that you actually try to replace them on occasion with a glass of water.
By doing this you will not only be reducing the amount of sugar and thus calories, you will also be flushing your body from the toxins that reside within leaving you feeling a little fresher and healthier with each glass that you drink.
If the above sound a little true to you then you should also refer to our information on Dental Insurance Plans along with our article on Personal Health Insurance as there are a number of ways that you can improve your diet and teeth.
