Specialized diet that have an effect on your dental health accordingly:
1. Dietician says – Smaller food items and frequent meals
Dental Experts says-
Frequently eating meals can expose your teeth to more acid attacks on teeth that are there in the acidic food. It is always better to eat three times a day in a healthier way. You can keep the hunger at control by drinking the water under regular intervals.
2. Dietician says – Eat food that is low in fats
Dental Expert says- This is more commonly said by the dietician where the food having fat is advised to reduce. However, when the fat is reduced, many of the people resort to diet foods that have added sugar. This food can increase the bacteria level on the teeth when flossing and brushing is not done properly. Healthier fat foods from food like nuts can be beneficial for the body and dental health.
3. Dietician says – Drinking healthier before eating fruits
Dental experts say – Since traditional days people say that not to drink water immediately after eating food. This is very true for body and dental health too. After eating the fruit, the “fructose” which is natural sugar starts to break down in the digestive system. However, when you water immediately the sugars are released and coat around the teeth. It leads to cavity development on the teeth.
4. Dietician says – Minimizing the junk and sugary food
Dental expert says- This is where the dental expert is totally agreeable to the suggestion. Junk food and sugary food are the main accelerators of the bacteria development on the teeth. Some junk food particles accumulate in the more complex areas of the teeth where they start developing problems like the plaque. Sugary food forms a coat on the teeth that leads to the bacteria development on the teeth.
