Belmont Dental Group wants you to love your healthy attractive smile. As the front end of the digestive system, WHAT you eat has a big influence on HOW you look! We all know that avoiding sticky, sugary and processed foods are not good for teeth or for you. Food that HELP your healthy smiles are vegetables of all colors, and calcium-rich ones like broccoli or kale.
*Water- drinking water helps clean your teeth. Water helps dilute the poisons bacteria make. If you have water from the tap, it may be enriched with Flouride- one of the biggest health improvements in all of human history! Some of our patients use products like Smart Water brand that have a pH of 7.4. That's a little better than plain water, because it does a better job destroying bacterial acids- and it's delicious!
*Milk, Yogurt, and Cheese- are a great way to give your body the Calcium it needs, and phosphorus and Vitamin D, all of which make for healthy teeth.
*Fish like Salmon, Sardines or Charlie The Tuna contain lots of Calcium, Vitamin D. And the Omega-3 fatty acids of these sources are linked to better gum health.
