FOODS THAT CAN HELP PREVENT TOOTH CAVITIES

Dental cavities can harm your child’s dental health, but a full oral checkup at The Dental Ark and Stevensons Dental Ark in a timely manner can save his or her teeth.
PROTECT YOUR TEETH
The importance of protecting one’s teeth and avoiding dental cavities should be understood by the entire family. Nothing compares to your natural teeth in terms of appearance, feel, and function. Your first concern should be to save your child’s teeth. Cavities can be avoided by brushing and flossing your teeth every day. Using fluoride-containing toothpaste and mouthwash can also help prevent tooth decay
Because some foods are detrimental to the teeth, be judicious with your child’s nutritional diet. Too much acidic or sugar content in harmful foods might cause tooth cavities. There are several foods that include drinks or beverages that contain sugar that, over time, destroy your child’s teeth
Reduce the amount of sugar in your diet and keep track of how often you consume a sugary item or drink each day to avoid tooth decay in your child and the rest of your family. A well-balanced diet does not imply that you exclude sugar from your diet, but you should keep track of your sugar intake to avoid tooth decay.
TEETH FRIENDLY FOODS
Some foods can be called tooth-friendly because they can aid in the prevention of tooth decay. Eating well can benefit both your teeth and your overall health. The vitamins listed below can help strengthen your teeth if you include them in your diet:
-Calcium is abundant in milk, cheese, and other dairy products.
-Citrus fruits and vegetables are high in vitamin C.
-Vitamin D – 15 minutes of direct sun exposure per day can provide you with this essential vitamin.
