What we eat has a big impact on our oral hygiene. The right food choices not only contribute to <\/span>healthy teeth and gums<\/span>, but also our overall health. We all know that foods that are high in sugar are bad for our teeth so while including <\/span>tooth-healthy foods<\/span> in our diet we should also avoid sugary foods. This <\/span>World Oral Health Day<\/span> let us be extra careful with what we eat.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best <\/span>foods for dental health<\/span> are high-fibre <\/span>fruits and <\/span>vegetables, <\/span>dairy products, and nuts. These <\/span>foods are good for teeth and gums<\/span> because they encourage saliva production which cleans the mouth. High-fibre foods also help to prevent sugar cravings. <\/span>Teas can also be part of a <\/span>teeth-healthy diet<\/span>, but only if they are had without sugar. Both green and black teas are good sources of antioxidants that prevent cell damage. All these foods also provide the <\/span>nutrients required for strong and <\/span>healthy teeth and gums<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with eating <\/span>tooth-healthy foods<\/span> and avoiding the wrong foods, it is also important to have good oral hygiene habits. Brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing between meals, and using a mouthwash at bedtime will all help in maintaining good oral health. <\/span><\/p>\n
