Step 1: A Healthy Diet
Do’s and Don’ts….
1. Do have a balanced diet with calcium rich foods, and plenty of leafy, green vegetables.
2. Avoid sweets and sugary foods. These should be kept to a minimum as they cause tooth decay.
3. Don’t have fizzy drinks – their high sugar content causes decay and acid erodes teeth.
4. Cut down on fruit juice which has natural acids and sugar that can also cause decay and erosion. Brush well after drinking juice.
5. Don’t have alcohol and tobacco – These stain and discolour teeth an unattractive yellowy/brown colour. More seriously , they also increase the long term risk of oral cancer.
