FOUR WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR ORAL HEALTH
QUIT SMOKING. There are already widely noted health benefits to quitting smoking but as well as an increase in the risk of oral cancer, smoking can actually lead to gum inflammation and receding gums which hold your teeth in place.
TRY TO LIMIT SUGAR INTAKE Soft drinks, sweets and chocolate are all pleasant treats but the sugar content of these drinks and foods causes enormous plate growth. If plaque content is too high, it can lead to tooth decay, gum disease and lost teeth.
SNACKING MIGHT BE BAD. When you nibble between meals, bacteria can build and cause tooth and gum problems. Mouth bacteria feeds off snacks and promote plaque development.
MAINTAIN A HEALTHY DIET The health benefits of eating a well-balanced diet are abundant and widely recognised. Still, by taking the right vitamins, minerals, fruits and vegetables you can boost the health of both your teeth and your gums. https://www.ombersleyfamilydental.co.uk/
