NUTRITION & TEETH
What is good nutrition?
Your smile can be impacted by the foods that you consume. Implementing a healthy
diet can help keep your smile in good working order. Consuming more fruits and
vegetables can help rinse food off of your teeth in order to help support gum health.
Healthy eating is a well-balanced diet so the body can receive the proper nutrients
necessary for good health and wellness. Dr. Anna Lee suggests, “the mouth is the
body’s initial point of contact with nutrients.” Having healthy teeth and gums are
essential tools for eating, chewing or swallowing, and it is the first steps in the
digestion process to provide good nutrition to the body. Eating patterns and eating
healthy food impact the general health, the teeth and the gums. Studies have shown
that people who have poor nutrition are likely to have poor oral health.
If you are struggling with your oral care contact Dr. Anna Lee & her team today.
