THE RIGHT NUTRITION FOR HEALTHY TEETH
With the right selection and preparation of your food, you can significantly reduce the risk of illness. You don't really need to forego anything if you take into account the most important tips for a healthy diet.
WHAT DIET IS GOOD FOR TEETH?
Those who chew thoroughly stimulate the flow of saliva and promote self-cleaning of the teeth: fiber-rich, natural raw and whole foods are recommended. All foods high in calcium, such as cheese, green vegetables, and almonds, will make your teeth resilient. In addition, fluorides have a positive effect on the composition of saliva. Legumes, fish and green tea, for example, contain a lot of fluorine.
WHAT FOODS ARE BAD FOR YOUR TEETH?
Sugar is the number one tooth enemy. Use the sugar-free variants for sweet foods. However, it is not the amount of sugar that is decisive for the development of tooth decay, but the frequency of contact with sugar. Dangers also lurk in foods in which the sugar content is not clearly visible, for example in ketchup, pizza or fruit yogurts. After consuming sour salad dressings or drinks, rinse your mouth with water and wait half an hour before brushing.
