Oral Health | Ways To Minimize Tooth Decay

Do you worry about getting cavities or tooth decay? You’re not alone if you do.

Cavities can lead to other dental health issues, sensitive teeth and pain. If you would like to do more than the traditional brushing, flossing, and visits to the dentist, making changes to your diet can help improve your chances of remaining cavity-free.

Fruits and Vegetables
We know how important fruits and vegetables are to our health, but they can also be beneficial to our dental health. Things such as pineapples, pears, and celery are all good options for a mouth-healthy snack.

Sugar-free Gum/Sweets
The next time you buy a pack of gum or buy candy, make sure it contains xylitol. Xylitol is a sugar substitute that helps prevent cavities from forming.

Raisins
A chemical component in raisins actually helps fight the bacteria that can cause cavities.

Dairy Products
A protein in dairy products, called casein, is beneficial to your dental health. Casein is found in products such as cheese and yogurt.

Besides having a healthy diet and proper dental hygiene, visiting the dentist for routine cleanings is important for keeping healthy smile. If you are due for a cleaning, be sure to schedule an appointment with Milford Dental Excellence today!
