One of the most common recurring nightmares in among all people in Flossmoor, IL is that of your teeth falling out. And if this were to happen in real life, it would be a nightmare come to life for most Americans. So how can you prevent these bad dreams from coming true? How can you keep your teeth healthy and strong?

Eating Healthily

While you already know about brushing your teeth, it’s important to realize that food still affects your teeth even if you brush it away. Flossmoor, IL residents need to be getting enough vitamins and minerals to keep your bone and tooth enamel strong. Calcium is very important—as is vitamin D, as that is what helps your body absorb the calcium.

There are many other minerals and vitamins that will help keep your general dental health strong. Make sure you are eating a balanced diet that is full of dairy products, fish, almonds, dark and leafy veggies, eggs, whole grains, and orange foods.

Eating healthy for your teeth also means avoiding sugary and acidic foods. These will wear away at the enamel on your mouth.

Fluoride: Friend or Foe?

Although fluoride is controversial and can, in large amounts, be poisonous, it is crucial to maintaining strong teeth. Moderation in all things is key when it comes to fluoride. If you don’t have fluoridated water, use toothpaste and mouthwash that are fortified with fluoride to protect your teeth. But be careful not to get too much or your teeth could become mottled.

General Tooth Care

There is a reason we talk about dental hygiene so much—it’s important! And while it is important to protect your teeth from decay, more teeth are actually lost through gum disease. Keep brushing carefully, floss, and see your Flossmoor, IL dentist as often as you need so that you can avoid developing this condition that will permanently harm your mouth.

In addition, pay attention to any changes you may notice in your mouth. Are your teeth loosening up? Do they hurt? Keep track of changes and get to the root of any problems as soon as you can. Doing this will help keep your teeth as strong as they can be for as long as they can be.
