Healthy Eating for Adults

The foods you eat can help increase the health of your smile. While we all consume sugar or sweets sometimes, these few tips from Dr.Anna Lee can help improve your overall health and help you to keep all of your teeth.  

·      Avoid frequent snacking on sweets and sweet beverages between meals.

·      Sugar Substitutes and Sugar-Free products taste like sugar, but they don’t promote decay-causing acids that can cause tooth decay.

·      Chew sugarless gum- it stimulates the production of saliva and it prevents tooth decay.

·      Cheese stimulates the production of saliva.

”Sugar-Free products means that no sugar was added to the foods during processing,” says Dr. Lee, “but the foods may contain other natural sweeteners, such as honey, molasses, evaporated cane sugar, fructose, barley malt or rice syrup.”  These natural sweeteners contain the same number of calories as sugar and can be harmful to the teeth.
