Keeping your mouth and teeth clean and healthy is not just good for oral hygiene, but also for your general health. ADA emphasizes that what you eat and drink can greatly impact the health of your teeth and gums. Tooth decay, a diet-related disease, occurs when sugars in food and drinks are taken up by bacteria, producing acids that attack tooth enamel.

To ensure your diet doesn't negatively affect your teeth, remember a few key things. Tap water in most areas of Australia contains fluoride, which helps prevent tooth decay. Choosing water over other beverages and regularly sipping throughout the day can make a significant difference to your dental and overall health.

Saliva plays a key role in preventing tooth decay by neutralizing acids produced by bacteria. However, frequent snacking between meals can prevent saliva from working effectively. Limiting sugary treats to mealtimes rather than between meals can protect your teeth from acid attacks.

It's not just obvious sweet foods and drinks that cause decay. Frequent snacking on foods with hidden sugars, such as biscuits, crackers, cereals, chips, and dried fruit, can also lead to acid attacks on your tooth enamel. Be mindful of these hidden sugars to maintain good oral health.

Chewing sugar-free gum for 20 minutes after eating can stimulate saliva production, neutralizing decay-causing acid attacks. This simple habit can benefit your teeth and promote good dietary habits.

At Carlisle Street Dental, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality dental care in a friendly and family-oriented environment. Book an appointment today and experience the difference we can make in your oral health and overall well-being.
