Diet and Your Dental Health

Diet and Dental Health

Doesn't it seem obvious that your diet would effect your dental health? Of course it does, then why do so many of us ignore this litle tid-bit of information? Well, ignore no more!

First the obvious is to cut down on sugars, the not-so-obvious is where to cut the sugars down from. Typically we think of candy and sweets, but here are a few other items to cut back on.

1.All sugars (including honey)
2. Soft drinks and lemonades
3. Nearly all cereals
4. Cakes, biscuits, and puddings
5. Jam on your bread, marmalade on your toast
6. Chocolates, sweets, and toffees
7. Peppermint sweets

Try replacing these items with fruits and vegetables, you will get the same "sweet" taste without the sugar.

As always, smile everyday!

Thanks for being a valued patient!
