Tooth decay is the single most common dental issue there is. Unlike a cut on your finger, a cavity will not heal itself. In a worst case scenario, an untreated cavity can lead to future problems, up to and including tooth loss. That's why we stress regular brushing and flossing to all of our patients at Smileology in Niceville and Miramar Beach FL.
Cavities form when acids in the mouth attack the enamel and dentin of the teeth. The acid is produced by bacteria in plaque, that sticky film that forms on the surfaces of teeth. When sugar is introduced, it interacts with the bacteria in the plaque, and creates the acids, which attack the teeth and cause cavities.
That's why it is so important to choose food and drink wisely. But it isn't easy, is it? Sugar seems to be in just about everything. Health experts say the average person in the United States consumes about 19.5 teaspoons of sugar every single day! That's twice as much as is recommended by the American Heart Association.
Knowing how much sugar is in the food that you buy is vital: not just to your teeth, but to your overall health. Reading ingredient labels on processed foods is essential.
At Smileology in Niceville and Miramar Beach FL, we want the best possible dental health for all of our patients. So cut back on sugar, brush and floss your teeth, and see us for a cleaning and checkup every six months. Patients from Destin and Florala AL come to us for general and cosmetic dentistry.
