36 Meal Recipes to Help You Prevent Cavities, Gum Disease, Tooth Loss, and Oral Cancer: The All-Natural Solution to Your Oral Problems
By Joe Correa CSN
The first thing that comes to mind when you think about oral health is definitely oral hygiene. Without a doubt, this is the main factor responsible for healthy teeth and the best help you can possibly get in preventing any complications. Brushing daily and flossing keeps your teeth and gums healthy and reduces the chances of having cavities. However, even when we follow our dentist's advice, some complications still happen. The number one culprit for this is usually a bad diet.
Having tooth cavities is common all over the world. This bacterial infection destroys teeth and can cause serious pain. Millions of people suffer from this problem and, unfortunately, some of them completely avoid treating it and end up a tooth removed or even worse.
As we already know, the #1 enemy is sugar. This well-known fact is incorporated in many health campaigns and dentist advice but avoiding sugar won't solve your problem completely. Avoiding sugar is just the first step in taking care of your teeth. Other important factors that can negatively affect your oral health are: alcohol, cigarettes, and a poor diet.
Alcohol has a triple impact on your teeth. It's full of sugar that remains in your mouth for a long period of time and it feeds the bad bacteria directly in your mouth. Alcohol also causes dehydration which reduces the healthy flow of saliva. This causes bacteria to stay in your mouth instead of being washed away naturally. Alcohol (just like cigarettes) will leave some nasty stains on your teeth and ruin the nice white color of your teeth.
A lot has been said about the negative effects that cigarettes can have on your teeth. Tobacco limits your mouth's ability to fight off bacteria and infections and it exposes your mouth to tooth decay. Just like alcohol, it leaves those terrible yellow stains on your teeth which are almost impossible to get rid of. Besides, cigarettes are proven to cause many different types of cancer, among those oral cancer.
Nutrition is the single most important factor affecting your oral health after oral hygiene. The answer lies in having a specific diet full of vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants that are proven to build up and strengthen your teeth and that's what this book is all about.
These recipes are low in sugar, but extremely rich in other nutrients that will help you to have the smile you've always wanted. Combine them with proper oral hygiene and you'll drastically reduce your chances of having tooth cavities, gum disease, tooth loss, and oral cancer.
