Looking after your teeth is not just all about getting the right toothpaste, brush and flosses in central Leeds: of course it helps. But it is also important to understand that the reason you use these products in the first place is to ensure you remove the residue of the food and drinks that you nourish your body with. Having a good diet will help build up your strength and immune system so that all of your body will be on top form to fight off anything the world throws at it- as is with your teeth. The mouth is very suceptible to what you put in it and there are some food and drinks that will attack your teeth and gums more viciously than others. Starch based foods such as potatoes are lovely to taste, but they are notoriously bad for breeding bacteria, as they tend to cling between the teeth and gums, and they soon start to attack the mouth with their acids. Sugar based foods and drinks also release serious acids into the mouth that attack the teeth’s enamel and if they are allowed to operate with freedom, will soon eat into the teeth and cause decay; some fruit will too. As much as we have increased the products to fight these problems, you should also read the labels of the food that you put in your mouth as well, if only to work out the levels of toxins in your food that are going to do you the most damage to your teeth and gums. Talking to your dentist and a nutritionist can help guide you through the choices you have to get the right food.
