We already know that infections are more prominent when we don’t incorporate enough vitamins and nutrients into our diet. But, the foods you put into your mouth can physically harm them, too. When plaque is present on your teeth and you eat something with sugar, the sugar and bacteria form an acid together that causes tooth decay. It starts by damaging your enamel and can eventually form a cavity in your tooth if left to progress.
The best way to ensure you’re getting enough nutrients is to incorporate the 5 major food groups; whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and dairy (low-fat or fat-free).
Many times there is more sugar in your drink then there is on your plate. Sodas are some of the worst drinks you could consume for your teeth. In fact, “diet” sodas are even worse than the regular ones when it comes to your oral health (and even your overall health). The best drink to stick to is water – and lots of it!
