March is Nutrition Awareness Month
In addition to good nutrition provided by healthy foods that help teeth grow and stay healthy, fruits and vegetables promote the production of saliva. More saliva means the mouth is naturally washed out more often, preventing bacterial growth. Other foods and drinks that help keep your teeth happy include water, dairy, lean proteins, and nuts. A healthy mouth is a healthy body!

May I Offer You a Cup of Cavities?
Do you ever pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea, add some sugar and then take a sip every few minutes during the morning? This is more damaging to your teeth than if you ate a slice of chocolate cake in five minutes. Every sip reintroduces sugar into your mouth and creates a breeding ground for bacteria and decay. Our recommendation? Take your drink without sugar or drink it as quickly as possible!
Fun Fact
Teeth are actually part of the digestive system. This is because they chew food into smaller pieces so we can digest it.
