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.
