Dental health and diet
Diets
low in certain nutrients reduce resistance to oral and dental
infections, that is, periodontal disease (gum disease) and decay.
We feel a
healthy immune system is essential to controlling periodontal disease.
Counseling in the Four Basic Food Groups will improve
dental health and
general health. The consumption of sugar, especially in sticky forms or
in a baby bottle while sleeping, contributes to the rapid development of
dental decay.
Together a balanced nutritional diet low in sugar, sensible eating
habits, in combination with effective daily tooth brushing and flossing
can reduce the risk and even prevent infectious disease.
Please don't hesitate to call Pacifico Dental Care at (610) 588-2722 if you need more information on
diet or fluoride supplementation and its relationship to dental health.
