Nuts, such as almonds, cashews, and Brazil nuts, are packed with essential minerals that help keep your teeth strong and gums healthy. Almonds, in particular, are low in sugar, high in calcium, and help stimulate saliva production, keeping bacteria away. Nuts are also a tooth-friendly swap for chips or crackers, which often leave behind starchy residue. More dental health tips? Contact us at (510) 352-2632.

Brushing too hard can do more harm than good. Scrubbing aggressively doesn’t mean cleaner teeth. It can actually wear down enamel and irritate your gums. The trick is to use a soft-bristle toothbrush in gentle circular motions and brush for a full 2 minutes. Think of brushing like massaging rather than scrubbing. If your toothbrush bristles fray quickly or your gums bleed often, it might be time to rethink your technique.

Just because it says "sugar-free" doesn't mean it's safe for your teeth. Acidic additives in many diet drinks and snacks can still wear down enamel—slowly and silently. The key is knowing what to look for. Give us a call at (510) 352-2632 to learn more!

You shouldn't brush your teeth directly after dinner. After eating, the acid from the food you've consumed has weakened your enamel. Brushing immediately afterwards may remove some of the enamel from the surface of your teeth. Instead, wait about an hour after dinner to brush. For more dental tips, contact us at (510) 352-2632.
