Brushing, flossing, and visiting
the dental office in Lake Stevens, WA are all crucial for your oral health, but you should also think about
your nutrition when considering your dental wellbeing. You might be surprised
at what kinds of foods and drinks can be detrimental to your smile and
what kinds will bolster your health. Watch this video clip on plating
up a healthy smile.
When it comes to nutrition and oral health, remember to stay away from
sugar. Sports drinks and juices that are high in sugar can wear away at
your enamel, so it’s best to drink water instead. If you want to
bolster your oral health as much as possible, drink fluoridated tap water
rather than water from a bottle. You can also turn to dairy products as
well as crunchier fruits and vegetables like celery and carrots to protect
your tooth enamel and preserve your oral health.
