Begin with a healthy diet.
Avoid snacking between meals.
Brush and floss your teeth after every meal.
If you must snack, make them healthy snacks Instead of snacking on junk food, try chewing on fresh fruits and vegetables, especially the crunchy foods.
Apples, pears, celery and carrots are good suggestions.
They will aid in enzyme production and the natural chewing of the crunchy foods will stimulate the gums.
Drink plenty of water.
Keep your mouth moist and avoid dry mouth.
Remember that dry mouth is a harbinger of dental disease.
We also need that water to stimulate the production of saliva.
Avoid drinking soda pop.
Americans consume gallons of soda pop a day.
Most is loaded with sugar which obviously leads to dental disease and discolored teeth.
Don’t be fooled by a “diet soda” label.
Even they have huge amounts of acids that are deadly to the enamel on your teeth.
And, if you thought that just sodas are the culprit, think again.
A recent study claims that all those popular sports drinks we buy may not be such a good idea after all.
They may re-hydrate the body, but they can cause irreversible damage to the dental enamel.
The study reports that fitness water, sports drinks, energy drinks and other non-cola beverages increase the risk of damage by anywhere from 3 to 11 times!
It should be mentioned that the findings are indicative of long term use.
However, it appears that these drinks may not necessarily beneficial as a substitute for plain old-fashioned fresh water!
