Following a Whole Foods Diet For Healthy Teeth

We all hate going to the dentist… the smell, the drill sounds, and the discomfort that you feel from the numbing shots is what makes us cringe! But, did you know that you can actually prevent the need for high-cost dental work by following a healthy diet?

The reason a person needs a cavity filled is because the tooth has start to rot away, and that is caused by the foods that we are eating. When you eat high amounts of sugar, refined grains and chemicals, your teeth are not able to stay strong. The unhealthy ingredients cause cavities to form.

But, following a whole foods diet can actually help you to prevent tooth decay. Choose to fill your meals and snacks with healthy foods, and your teeth will thank you for it.

So, what types of foods should you be eating?

Focus your eating habits around foods in their natural form: fruits and vegetables, beans and legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds, and healthy fats. All of these foods are free of the refined sugars, refined grains and chemicals that can be found in most processed foods.

As you increase you intake of healthy foods, at the same time you need to decrease your intake of the unhealthy processed foods. Stay away from candy and other pre-packaged foods that are filled with sugar and other unhealthy ingredients. Also, be sure that you are staying away from soda and artificial drinks, those items are hard on the teeth!

Of course, you need to make sure to be following good dental hygiene every day. Brushing your teeth and flossing are a good way to prevent tooth decay. And when you combine those daily habits with a healthy eating plan, you will have healthy teeth and you will be able to avoid the high bills and discomfort at the dentist!
