Dental Insurance Plus, A Balanced Diet Helps to Maintain Good Dental Health.
Think about what you are eating. Did you know that every time you eat, bits of food can become lodged in-between and around your teeth. Food provides fuel for the bacteria in plaque. The bacteria produce acid, and each time you eat food containing sugars or starches, your teeth are exposed to these acids for 20 minutes or more. These repeated acid attacks can break down the enamel surface of your teeth, leading to a cavity. If you must snack, brush your teeth or chew sugarless gum afterward. Also if you are not having a balanced diet you may not getting enough minerals and vitamins which can affect your oral health, as well as your general health care.
