A Simple and Healthy Diet to Boost Oral Health

healthy-food

Most of us forget the adage, “eat to live, and don’t live to eat.” More often than not, we eat food stuff that is not conducive to our health but does a great job at tantalizing our taste buds, irrespective of the fact how it impacts our heath in general, or oral health for that matter.

From our school days or even at a medical practitioner’s office, a diagrammatic representation of the food pyramid is displayed. The American Dental Associations and dentists around the world point put the need of a proper diet which can help improve your oral health. If you adhere to a healthy diet, in addition to the regular brushing and flossing, and an occasional visit to the dentist, your teeth will not only be in the best of health but possibly free from any kind of diseases.

Add some of these foods in small or large servings to your daily diet and you can almost feel the change instantaneously.

Foods That Are Good For Oral Health

  • Dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt are a good source of calcium and help strengthen your teeth and bones. Irrespective of your age, this certainly is a must in your daily diet.
  • Protein rich food products like lentils, meats and nuts help in adding the necessary minerals to your body. They make you strong as well as protect the teeth enamel.
  • Fresh fruits and vegetables certainly work at keeping the doctor at bay. However, too much of acidic fruits may well be avoided.
  • Last but not the least, plenty of water hydrates the body and keeps you in the pink of health.

These are as far as food that can be included in your diet. On the other hand, sodas, alcohol, tobacco and caffeine rich products increase the chances of teeth and gum problems, compromises oral health in general and pose serious problems like cancer.

Nicole Z

She had always wanted a new smile for graduation. Nicole had worked her whole school life to become a lawyer and she wanted a smile to match her academic accomplishment. She had some size discrepancies and positioning of her teeth. So, after sending in a Smile Virtual consult and looking at her personal video she knew what she wanted to do. We decided to have 10 conservative veneers done to widen her smile and correct the tooth size she was concerned about. Her graduation pictures were beautiful.

Nicole J

Nicole had braces when she was younger and also had some gum surgery that left some scarring. She sent me a Smile Virtual consult request to see if there was anything possible to correct her smile. I was able to describe what was possible in her personal video. She never thought that what I described was possible. She decided to move ahead after her consultation. We were able to correct the past orthodontic care and gum treatment with a gum lift and 10 veneers. She had a beautiful result for her wedding pictures

Jenn

She had seen all the other patients we worked with on Instagram. She really liked what she saw, and wanted to know more. She clicked the link in my Bio, submitted a selfie smile, and I sent her a personal video through Smile Virtual. I went through the veneer process and examples of other smiles, and how much things would cost. She liked what she saw and asked to schedule an appointment. We delivered 10 veneers other top teeth and 8 veneers on the bottom.

Maria had treatment in another country. This treatment created discolouring, uneven surfaces, and shapes. She wanted her smile whiter and even. Because there was a language barrier, the Smile Virtual Consult created a perfect opportunity to show her what was possible.

Nicole P

She had a nice wide smile, but her teeth always looked small. She had tried whitening, but that didn’t achieve the look she wanted. After going through the details of her smile on the Smile Virtual consult, she saw how her gums were creating asymmetries. She decided that she wanted to have 12 veneers with a gum lift. The gum lift helped to create the perfect frame and size for her beautiful new smile.

She was not happy with the shape and position of her teeth. A side tooth was missing, and her bite caused functional issues. With a Smile Virtual consult she was able to hear that I had a deep knowledge base about bite issues and she could see that we could correct old dental work. 9 porcelain veneers and an implant crown were done to transform her smile.
