\"YourDr. Vladimir Khramoy and Dr. Caroline Salib<\/a> tell their patients that the health and appearance of their smiles depend on eating wisely. \u00a0In fact, a nutritious diet wards off tooth decay and keeps gums pink. What strategies can you use for your best diet– one that\u2019s good for your waistline and your optimal dental health?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What Goes On in Your Mouth?<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Literally, your mouth is a breeding ground for bacteria. Dentists agree that one kind of bacteria causes decay and another kind causes destructive gum disease. Both adversely affect the oral–and systemic health–of children, teens, and adults<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While heredity, oral hygiene habits, and systemic health conditions impact oral health, foods and beverages do, too. In particular, sugary drinks and snacks, along with other carbohydrate-rich choices, foster bacterial growth. This bacteria lives in the sticky plaque and hard tartar which accumulate on and between your teeth and at the gum line.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Left undisturbed, the bacteria in plaque and tartar secrete very corrosive acids that lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Both conditions are prevalent chronic health problems all over the world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To truly benefit your dental health, the American Dental Association (ADA) advises this guideline: think before you eat. If you reduce carbohydrates and acidic foods and increase healthy choices, the changes will show when your dentist in Parma Heights sees you for your six-month oral exams and hygienic cleanings.<\/p>\n

Is Healthy Eating Really That Easy?<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Frankly, good nutrition is not always easy because American diets are loaded with processed, super-sweet foods and beverages. The US Department of Agriculture joins dentists in helping all of us eat healthier. Check out this website: ChooseMyPlate.gov. <\/a>You\u2019ll find ideas for a diet that benefits hard tooth enamel and your best gum tissue.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Interestingly, \u00a0when you select fruits, vegetables, dairy, whole grains and low-fat proteins, these nutritious choices tend to crowd out unhealthy cravings. Good food makes for bright, long-lasting smiles.<\/p>\n
