Do you have a mouth full of fillings and root canals? Do you wish you had stronger teeth? It’s never too late -just follow my tips for a healthy, cavity free dentition! Healthy diet: A healthy diet strengthens teeth and gums by providing nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins while a poor diet, high in sugar and acid, weakens the enamel and promotes bacterial growth leading to cavities and gum disease. Reduce sweet intake: The primary cause of cavities, sugar, negatively impacts dental health by feeding harmful oral bacteria, which produce acids that erode tooth enamel, leading to decay. Frequent sugar consumption prolongs the acid attacks, weakening teeth and increasing the risk of tooth loss and gum disease. Increase water intake: Drinking water strengthens teeth and gums by rinsing away bacteria and food particles, diluting harmful acids, and promoting saliva production. Fluoridated tap water helps remineralize and strengthen tooth enamel. Brush and floss teeth daily: to scrub the teeth clean and remove acidic bacterial cavity causing plaque. Use a fluoridated toothpaste: fluoride strengthens the teeth by interacting with enamel, making it more resistant to attack by cavity causing bacteria. Change your toothbrush: every 3 months, or as soon as it gets frayed. Visit your dentist every 6 months: bi-annual check-ups are important to catch and attend to any pathology in its early stages Schedule your appointment now by calling on 08042754192 at Dr. Gallani’s Dental Care or www.gallanidentalcare.com !!
