Children's Dental Health Month
The two major oral health diseases are tooth decay (dental caries) and gum (periodontal) disease. Both diseases are influenced by nutrition and diet. Nutrition plays an important role in the development of teeth and oral tissue. Dental caries result from the interaction between the tooth, oral bacteria, and dietary carbohydrates (sugar and starch).
Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on our teeth and turns the sugars and starches in our food into acids. These acids act on the tooth enamel and cause tooth decay. If high-acid producing or sugar foods (raisins, cookies, cakes, potato chips) are consumed, they should be eaten with meals, not as snacks. Cheeses, popcorn, raw fruits and vegetables are low-acid producing food and make healthy snacks.
To prevent dental disease, remember to:
- Brush teeth after every meal with fluoridated toothpaste.
- Floss teeth daily.
- Visit the dentist and dental hygienist regularly.
- Eat a nutritionally balanced diet.
- Avoid foods that stay in the mouth a long time and stick to teeth (raisins, hard candies, and caramels).
