To your keep your smile beautiful: # Eat a piece of raw fruit after every meal or at least at snack times. The skin and fibre of raw fruit helps to cleanse the teeth and prevent the buildup of plaque and bacteria which eat away at the tooth surface and cause decay. Avoid sugar containing foods or crisps at snack times. # Eat wholegrain where possible - wholegrain breads and cereals, wholemeal pasta, and brown rice. Again, high fibre assists in preventing the cloggy buildup which occurs when white bread, biscuits, cakes, and white rice are eaten. # Avoid sugar containing drinks where possible. Have water or herbal teas. Coffee, tea, cola, chocolate drinks, alcohol, and cigarettes also have an acidic effect, so will cause calcium to be lost from bones and teeth. # Do increase your intake of calcium containing foods at snack times – try yoghurt and fruit, cottage cheese on wholegrain crackers, or whey protein shakes instead of biscuits and crisps. Nuts and seeds are also a source of calcium. # The longer food remains in your mouth, the greater the chance for decay. Rinse your mouth immediately after eating, especially if you’ve just had something sweet, and remember that brushing teeth at least twice daily is essential to keep decay at bay. # Vitamin C - found in fruits and vegetables is essential to protect tooth health against bacterial damage. Raw celery, capsicums and carrots are great snacks to get your levels up. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects gums against bacterial damage and promotes healing. # Vitamin C is also vital for the production of collagen – the main building block for gums; it also promotes healthy blood capillaries. When levels of Vitamin C are low oral health problems like swollen and bleeding gums and loss of teeth can result. # Supplements can aid in decreasing dental cavities, bad breath and gum disease. If your teeth and gums need health you may want to try Healtheries Antioxidant tablets or Healtheries CalciBuild tablets to increase your levels of calcium and vitamin C. # Tongue cleaning helps to reduce bad breath and improve oral hygiene as a large number of bacteria live on the rough surface of the tongue. Most dental professionals advise that not brushing, not flossing, or not rinsing enough is the leading cause of gum disease and tooth decay. # See your dentist one to two times a year to prevent tooth and gum disease and don’t forget to replace your brush every three months. For a prettier smile and less dental distress don't take your smile for granted, go grab that celery now. Please tell me if u have another tips for best smiling.
