It’s important to remember that Cavities can affect people of all age groups. Whether you’re packing your child’s lunch or your own, remember that including tooth-friendly snacks can go a long way towards keeping cavities away. Selecting the right foods, along with healthy dental hygiene habits, are a winning combination for protecting your teeth. Try to include these healthy food items in your lunch:
1. Whole Wheat Bread
2. Fresh Vegetables
3. Fresh Fruit
4. Cheese
5. Nuts and Seeds
6. Milk
Remember that along with eating right, dental hygiene plays a major role. Brushing your teeth two times a day with fluoride toothpaste as well as flossing can help prevent cavities and tooth decay. It is also very important to get regular check-ups and teeth cleanings to not only maintain your dental health and a great smile but also, your health in general. It is recommended that you schedule a checkup once every 6 months.
Proper oral hygiene at home is most certainly important and can go a long way towards maintaining dental health. However, you cannot remove hardened plaque and tartar at home with a toothbrush and flossing.
