| Healthy teeth |
Our bodies are what we eat and what we eat depends on our
teeth and how well we chew. Therefore, good healthy teeth are an important
contributor to overall good health. Generally,
some foods that are good for general health are also good for teeth.
Acid is the cause of all the damage done to teeth. Acid may
come from acidic food and drink or produced from sugar by oral bacteria. This
acid acts on the enamel on teeth and causes decay. Therefore, it is important
to consume food and liquids that will suppress the affect of tooth-harming
acids, provide minerals and vitamins that will maintain healthy teeth and stimulate
the flow of saliva.
