3. Positive Nutrition Choices For Oral
Health
Every food choice we make affects the health of our teeth,
gums, and mouth in general. Habitual choices have even
more of an impact. If an individual consumes soft drinks on
a regular basis, for example, the prolonged and regular
exposure to sugar is almost certain to have an adverse
effect on his or her teeth. Contrarily, those who drink water
throughout the day are less likely to develop tooth decay,
as water washes away the bacteria that harm teeth.
4. Positive Nutrition Choices For Oral
Health
In addition to water, good nutrition choices for oral health
include fibrous fruits and vegetables, such as celery and
cucumber. Vegetables that are yellow or green have also
been shown to reduce the risk of oral cancer, as have
foods high in vitamins A, C, and E. Hard cheeses also help
teeth fight decay by encouraging the mouth to produce
saliva, which washes away bacteria.
