Why Does Nutrition Affect Oral Health?



Nutrition is critical to the overall health of your mouth. The food you consume everyday is a vital element to your smile. Dr. Anna Lee, recommends consuming healthy foods to help keep your smile in tip-top shape.

A poor diet can lead to gum disease and tooth decay.  Researchers believe that tooth decay progresses faster and is more prevalent in people with poor nutrition.  Foods high in carbohydrates, sugars and starches contribute to the production of plaque acids that attack the tooth enamel. These acids cause tooth enamel to break down and cause tooth decay.
