Most people don’t realize that they may be able to prevent two of the most common diseases of modern civilization, tooth decay, and gum disease, simply by improving their diet. We all love our fair share of junk food, but what we eat and how often we eat are important factors to maintain good oral health. Our doctors at Healthy Smiles Family Dental can recommend foods that are healthy for your oral-systemic health.
Oral-Systemic health is the connection between oral health and overall health. If you’ve ever heard the phrase, “you are what you eat,” it’s not entirely false. Simply because if you eat sugars, or acidic foods and beverages, your teeth may appear lackluster, sensitive to hot and cold beverages, or your gums may be sore. Studies have shown that lack of poor diet in conjunction with poor oral hygiene practices, may increase a patient’s risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and even dementia.
