If your diet consists primarily of sugary foods and beverages, it might be time to make healthier choices. Sure, sugary drinks like soda and fruit juice can wash down that pizza you’re eating, but it’s doing damage to your oral health. Drinking water contains fluoride, which protects teeth from decay. This is why Dr. Farid Hakimzadeh of Fresh Meadows Dental Care wants patients to reduce their sugar intake and start reaching for the H2O.
Unlike sugary beverages that wreak havoc on tooth enamel, water cleans the mouth with every sip. It also replenishes saliva which is our mouth’s first defense against tooth decay. The fluoride that drinking water contains shields teeth from cavities and helps remineralize carious lesions that may have been brought on by periodontal disease. Drinking more water is only beneficial to not only your dental health but your overall health as well.
If you have questions or concerns regarding tooth decay, please give us a call.
