The foods we eat not only impact your body, but
they impact the overall health of your smile. Eating healthy foods that rinse
food off of your teeth, keep your mouth moist and provide your body with the
nutrients it needs, can help to ward off major problems with your smile. Poor
nutrition can deprive the body of important nutrients and makes it difficult
for the body to fight infection and bleeding gums.
While processed foods, high carbohydrates with
starchy and sugary foods are bad for the oral health and can cause bleeding
gums. Try to eat fruits and vegetables with nutritional supplements of calcium,
vitamin D, vitamin C, magnesium, and anti-inflammatories such as fish oil.
These are all critical building blocks of good oral health.
Next time you are looking for a snack to tide you
over for dinner reach for the red and yellow bell peppers or an apple and leave
the chips alone.
