Maintaining Health Teeth
Whenever there's talk of taking care of your teeth, you always hear about brushing, flossing, and avoiding sugary foods. While these things are definitely important in maintaining the health of your teeth, they are not the only ways to prevent cavities and preserve your beautiful smile.
When maintaining the health of your teeth, it is important to watch when you eat, not just what you eat. Decay-causing bacteria takes up residence and produces acid in your mouth after you eat. However, your saliva does the job of clearing much of it from your mouth. After the acid is cleared, minerals in your saliva actually crystallize on your teeth, beginning to repair the damage the acid caused to your tooth enamel. If you allow longer intervals between snacks and meals, your saliva has more time to neutralize acid and repair damage. More Tips for Maintaining the Health of Your Teeth
Eating sugary foods with meals, including sticky candy, is less likely to lead to cavities than eating the same sugary treats between meals. Likewise, it is best to save your sugar-filled beverages for consumption with meals if you are serious about maintaining the health of your teeth.
