Nutritional advice to keep teeth and gums healthy

Nutrition has an impact on all health aspects, and teeth and gums are no exception. Everyone knows how dangerous sugar is on teeth, but the truth is that there is so much more about the relationship between diet and oral health

To maintain healthy teeth, you should stay away from:

• Sugar and sticky sweets that remain in the mouth.
• Sugary drinks and starchy foods.

Also, some foods should be included in your diet, which are:

• Foods rich in calcium, such as dairy products, yogurt contain bacteria that are good for gums.
• Leafy greens and almonds are from calcium sources.
• Carrots, celery and crunchy vegetables.
• Some fruits are useful for teeth, such as apples, which cleanse the teeth thanks to the fiber.
• Strawberries because they contain a teeth whitening enzyme.
• Drinking water containing fluoride.
