Dental Nutrition

  • Cavities are caused by the acid produced from snacks high in sugar and soda.


  • Reduce drinking soda and drink plenty of water to balance the pH in your saliva.


  • It is better to drink soda or eat sweets all at once as opposed to several intervals over a longer time period. This will decrease acid exposure to your teeth, thus less chances of forming cavities.


  • Try to replace sweet snacks with healthy fruit.


  • Consider chewing sugar-free gum. Trident, Orbit, or Spry prodcuts all have Xylitol, which is a natural sugar ingredient that can promote salivation and lessens chances of cavities.


  • Remember that drinking a lot of coffee, tea, red wine, or eating dark berries can all contribute to stains.
