Nutrition & Hydration Week
When it comes to looking after your teeth, nutrition and hydration play an important role. Eating nutritious food rich in calcium, like dairy and green leafy vegetables, can help your teeth and gums stay strong. Drinking plenty of water and other hydrating fluids can help remineralize your teeth, protect them from decay, and wash away food particles that can lead to plaque build-up. Avoiding sugary and acidic foods and drinks can help reduce the risk of cavities.
In addition to a nutritious diet and proper hydration, daily oral hygiene like brushing and flossing is also essential for maintaining healthy teeth. Use a soft-bristled brush to brush your teeth twice a day for at least two minutes each time. Flossing once a day with a dental floss or interdental brush is also important to keep your gums healthy and your teeth clean. Make sure to visit your dentist for regular check-ups and professional cleanings.
Taking care of your teeth is an important part of staying healthy. Paying attention to your nutrition and hydration, combined with proper oral hygiene, can keep your teeth and gums in good health for years to come!
