We all want to stay healthy, right? That includes our teeth and gums. The thing about our teeth is that they must last us throughout our entire lifetime. That might be 80 or 90 years with all the advancements in the medical world. Your teeth take lots of wear and tear. They require a bit of special attention. But most of this is simple common sense.

The old adage says that we are what we eat. Our diet will show up in our overall health. If you eat lots of fatty foods and foods with sugar, you’ll gain weight. Eventually, poor eating habits can lead to diabetes. But they also take a negative toll on your dental health. You’ll notice more cavities. Below are a few tips to help out with that.

Fresh Fruits and Veggies

When we include fresh fruits and veggies in our diet, we get valuable vitamins and minerals but it also helps keep teeth clean. Remind your family to eat an apple, pear, carrots or other crunchy foods throughout the week.

Hopefully, our parents taught us to appreciate foods like spinach, broccoli, beans, tomatoes, melons, grapes, and berries. If not, start now teaching your family the value of eating healthy. You can live longer and be healthier if you simply make a few healthy changes in your diet each day. This will be good for your teeth and your waistline.
