Nutrition: What You Eat Affects Your Teeth

Cheese, milk, plain yogurt, calcium-fortified tofu, leafy greens and almonds, are foods that may benefit tooth health thanks to their high amounts of calcium and other nutrients they provide. Protein-rich foods like meat, poultry, fish, milk and eggs are the best sources of phosphorus. Both of these minerals play a critical role in dental health, by protecting and rebuilding tooth enamel.

Fruits and vegetables are good choices for a healthy smile since they are high in water and fiber, which balance the sugars they contain and help to clean the teeth. These foods also help stimulate saliva production, which washes harmful acids and food particles away from teeth and helps neutralize acid, protecting teeth from decay. Plus, many contain vitamin C (important for healthy gums and quick healing of wounds) and vitamin A (another key nutrient in building tooth enamel).

Hands down, water—particularly fluoridated water—is the most tooth-friendly beverage.

5 Reasons to Schedule Your Dental Appointment Now

If you’ve been thinking about scheduling a dental appointment but have not gotten around to actually making the phone call, here are 5 great reasons to get yourself in gear!

1. Save money. Preventive care treatments are typically much less expensive than major restorative procedures (crowns, root canals, and dental implants).
2. Less discomfort. From gum disease to abscessed teeth, scheduling your appointment asap is the first step towards getting the problem resolved quickly.
3. Less time away from work or school. Being proactive and scheduling your dental appointment now will give you a chance to stay ahead of your dental problems and reduce the number of additional dental visits.
4. Fewer surprises and unexpected dental emergencies. Who wants to deal with a toothache during a vacation or in the middle of the night? While some dental problems are unforeseeable, most can be prevented or addressed before they have a chance to take you by surprise.
5. More convenient appointment time. Waiting until the last minute to schedule a dental appointment often means that you’ll have to settle for any appointment time that the dentist has available. This can be a problem if you are in need of a specific appointment time such as early mornings or Fridays.

If you live in and around Katonah and have not booked your visit with a local dentist, call us at (914) 232-8190 to reserve your appointment today.
