3 Small Diet Changes To Help You Reduce Your Cavity Risk
Posted April 9, 2018 by Wager-Evans Dental

1. Drinking Water With Meals And Snack
Drinking water when you eat can help you wash away food debris that might stick to teeth. When you keep that debris cleared away, it deprives oral bacteria the opportunity to feed on the sugars in those foods, meaning you are less likely to have cavity troubles. If you choose water instead of soda, you are also taking down your overall sugar intake for the day.
2. Find A Healthy Alternative To Vending Machine Snacks
If you make a beeline for the vending machine at your job every time you need a snack, you can be limited to less than ideal snacking options. Bringing healthy snacks from home can help you avoid sugary, sticky foods.
3. Drinking Water Or Milk At Breakfast
Coffee and orange juice are popular breakfast beverages. In moderation, they can be fine, but both of these drinks are acidic, and may affect natural cavity defense. Because they can soften your enamel, these beverages can also make it easier for stains to accumulate in your enamel.
