Absolutely – preventive dentistry helps to avoid infections, decay, and loss. Regularly eating foods that are high in sugars and fatty acids can greatly increase your chances of these dental issues. By consuming healthier foods, you’re protecting your teeth and gum tissue from any harmful bacteria.
Sticking to the healthier food groups – lean meat and poultry, whole grains, vegetables – will keep your entire body (and mouth) healthy. Indulging in sweets (or other things that are considered “bad” for you) every now and then won’t be detrimental to your health, but should be done in moderation. For example, a healthy dinner could consist of chicken, green beans, potatoes, and a small portion of desert.
If you’re ever questioning the foods you’re consuming regularly, ask your dentist to ensure you’re not eating anything that could easily stick to your teeth.
