7 Tips For Better Dental Health

                 

Your teeth are an essential part of the body that helps grind your meal in your mouth. They, and other areas of the body such as your skin and muscles, need proper nutrition. It's also essential to eat healthy foods and avoid foods that cause cavities. While there is no alternative to brushing and flossing your teeth daily, eating foods high in calcium, vitamin A, C, and D can help you maintain strong teeth. Researchers in Japan looked at the diets of 57 people aged 74 and counted their teeth. They found that people who ate the fewest fruits, seafood, and shellfish often had the fewest teeth. So, you should be careful about the teeth you have. You should consume healthy foods; avoid sugary and sticky foods, which encourage bacteria to cause cavities.

1.  DAIRY PRODUCTS ARE A RICH SOURCE OF CALCIUM

Feeding to keep your teeth in good shape, like your bones, require calcium as an important mineral, particularly when you are young. "Calcium-rich foods are highly essential," says William Kuttler, DDS, a Dubuque, Iowa-based dentist. "Teeth don't grow without calcium," he says. Calcium strengthens the bone that protects the teeth in humans, preventing them from loosening over time.

 


By using more dairy items in your diet, you are providing your teeth with the best possible protection. For example, 300 milligrams of calcium are found in a cup of low-fat milk, which is around 30% of the daily value (DV) for this mineral. Low-fat and fat-free plain yogurt contains 448 milligrams and 488 milligrams of calcium, respectively, in eight ounces. Reduced-fat cheeses and some fermented foods, such as turnip greens, bok choy, and curly endive, have smaller quantities.

2.     VITAL VITAMINS PROTECT YOUR TEETH

However, proper dental hygiene necessitates more than just calcium. A variety of vitamins, including vitamins D, C, and A, are also needed. According to research, a lack of vitamin D will induce bone loss as well as inflammatory responses, which is a symptom of gum disease. Drinking vitamin D-fortified milk is the perfect way to get vitamin D and calcium at the same time.

 

Vitamin C is used by the body to produce collagen, a durable protein fiber that keeps your gums healthy. It's basic to get that much vitamin C in your diet. A half-cup of cooking broccoli, for example, contains 58 milligrams of vitamin C, or almost 90% of the Daily Value (DV). A medium orange contains 80 milligrams or 133 percent of the daily value.

3.  AVOID STICKY FOODS

Thorny issues as you can see from the above, some things are healthy for the inside of your teeth, while others, such as chocolate, are bad for the outside because they encourage bacteria to develop. According to DR. Kuttler, bacteria and acids, they create behave like little dental drills over time, wearing away the surface of the teeth and causing cavities to form.

 



Sticky foods are much worse. The explanation for this is that these foods bind to the teeth and allow bacteria to live in the mouth for an extended period of time. However, there is one food that is notorious for its stickiness and can be beneficial for your teeth. Researchers at the University of Chicago discovered that a compound present in raisins, oleanolic acid, inhibits plaque-causing bacteria from adhering to surfaces.

4.  BRUSH YOUR TEETH  DAILY 

Brushing your teeth after eating oily foods or drinking a soft drink is the easiest way to deal with them. And if you are unable to clean, simply rinsing your mouth with water can aid in the removal of sugars, so bacteria can cause damage.

5.  MORE SALIVA CAN SAVE YOUR TEETH

It's not just what you eat that keeps your teeth strong; it's also how you eat. When you chew, saliva is spontaneously produced in your mouth. As a result, the more you chew, the more saliva is produced to wash sugar from your teeth. Saliva also includes calcium and phosphorus, which aid in the neutralization of tooth-damaging acids formed in the mouth after chewing.

6.   CHEESE INHIBIT TOOTH DECAY

Try eating a slice of cheese as you're eating your meal. Researchers aren't sure exactly, but cheese consumption tends to help inhibit tooth decay. Cheese can contain compounds that neutralize acids in the mouth until they can cause damage.

 


In other words, while consuming candy lowers the pH of your saliva, converting plaque into tooth-dissolving acid, eating cheese helps to maintain a balanced pH. Since reviewing a series of experiments on 12 different types of cheese, researchers discovered that cheddar has the best tooth security.

7.   BLACK TEA CAN REDUCE PLAQUE FORMATION

Black tea can be used to rinse the teeth. People who rinsed their mouths with black tea many times a day had less plaque buildup then those who rinsed with water, according to researchers at the University Of Chicago College Of Dentistry.
