Our teeth are very important to us, as important as our heart. Teeth are meant to last the entire life. To keep them healthy is necessary for us through out our life. Tooth decay, cavities, erosion of tooth enamel, etc are the main problem. Tooth decay can occur anywhere on the surface of teeth, but is most common on the chewing surfaces of teeth, near the gum and in-between teeth. It is believed that filling of tooth cavities costs more than the costs involved in heart disease. Carbohydrate foods such as sugars can cause dental decay. Sweets, biscuits, pastries, buns, cakes, sticky breakfast bars, and other similar kinds of food stick in the teeth, providing food for bacteria that live in dental plaque. The bacteria use sugars from residues of carbohydrates to multiply. They also ferment sugary food residues around teeth, producing acids that eats into tooth enamel, causing cavities. The longer the time that residues are in contact with bacteria in teeth, the greater the amount of acid produced. Saliva has some ability to counteract the effect of the acid produced by bacteria as it contains some minerals that help repair tooth enamel. Foods that do not contain sugar and need to be chewed are useful, stimulating production of saliva. When less saliva is available on very hot days, one should not consume foods containing sugars that stick in the teeth. According a study published in the July 2006 issue of The Journal of the American Dental Association, chewing gum containing xylitol, a sweetener with antimicrobial properties, temporarily suppresses bacteria that cause tooth decay. Results also showed that using chewing gum with a sorbitol-aspartame-saccharin sweetening mixture or not chewing any gum was ineffective in maintaining suppression of the tooth-decaying bacteria.
Tips For Healthy Teeth Clean your teeth after eating by toothbrush and dental floss. Use a correct toothbrush, and brush and floss correctly. Visit the dentist regularly. Periodontal disease of gums is common in adults and in older people. The dentist can remove plaque from teeth, reducing the number of bacteria - a key to helping prevent tooth decay and gum disease. If you experience the following, then you have chances of a periodontal disease:
Gums bleeding during brushing
Red and/or swollen gums
Gums that have pulled away from the teeth, Pus between the teeth and gums
Bad breath
Loose teeth. Don't ignore gums that bleed when you brush or floss or changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite. Ask your dentist about cosmetic options for improving the appearance of teeth that are stained or chipped. Don't use tobacco products; they can increase your risk of gum disease and cancer of the mouth and throat. Don't chew on hard objects that could crack a tooth. Wear a mouth guard when playing active sports. Eat a balanced diet for good overall health, selecting a variety of foods from the five main food groups (bread, cereals, and other grain products; fruits; vegetables; meat, poultry, fish and alternatives; milk, cheese, and yogurt), and limit snacks. Eating sweetened cereals dry is bad for teeth, always add milk. Drinking frequent cups of tea or coffee with sugar added will increase the risk of teeth decay. When less saliva is available on very hot days, one should not consume foods containing sugars that stick in the teeth. Chewable vitamin C tablets with or without sugar are acidic and are a hazard for not only children’s teeth but also to adult's teeth. Do not use lemon juice for whitening because vitamin C will cause the teeth to lose calcium damaging teeth quicker than anything else. Tips for Babies teeth
Don't give babies a bottle containing milk, juice or a formula in bed, this is a not good for their teeth. The sugars from milk or juice around the mouth for long periods can lead to decay in a baby’s little teeth. Prolonged breast feeding with small feeds every few minutes can also lead to tooth decay. When babies get teeth, it is important to give them foods to chew. Young children need help to clean their teeth properly.
