It can be as simple as examining your diet. If you\u2019re regularly eating sugary, starchy, foods or, or if your favorite snacks are just simple carbohydrates, you\u2019re putting your teeth at risk. Follow Dr. Lance Anderson\u2019s tips for stronger teeth and healthier gums. Your family dentist in Lovell is here to help you and those you love most smile better!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#1: Watch The Simple Carbs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know sugary sodas and snacks put your teeth at risk of decay, but have you thought about the impact other simple carbohydrates have on your smile? That\u2019s one of the big reasons for the recent news about Olympians\u2019 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/science\/2016\/08\/your-teeth-are-probably-better-than-an-olympians\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">poor dental health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; most top athletes consume lots of white pasta, bread, and other refined carbs to maintain high energy levels. Unfortunately, these refined grains and starches throw off the pH balance in your saliva, weakening your mouth\u2019s biggest defense against decay. Better is to eat whole grains, which have not been modified (or refined) in any way. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#2: Eat Your Spinach<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Popeye probably enjoyed the best dental health of any of your favorite cartoon characters. Leafy greens like spinach and kale are chock full of calcium and folic acid, two of your mouth\u2019s best friends. Calcium helps to strengthen tooth enamel, and folic acid has been noted to aid in reversing gum disease. Make a fresh, healthy spinach salad to go along with dinner, or add kale to your next <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/2013\/10\/garlic-parmesan-kale-pasta\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pasta dish<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#3: Stock Up On Dairy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next time you\u2019re at the grocery store, take an extended stroll down the dairy aisle. Stocking your fridge full of yogurt, low-fat cheese, and milk can greatly improve your family\u2019s dental health. Dairy products are full of calcium and vitamin D, which contribute to stronger teeth and bones. Recent evidence also suggests that dairy can help to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.perio.org\/consumer\/dairy-products\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">protect gums<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from gum disease. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#4: Make Some Broth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one may come as a surprise. Did you know that traditionally prepared bone broth (that is, boiling bones in a pot and adding the liquid to your next soup or casserole) contributes to better oral health? It\u2019s true. Bone broth is full of vitamins and minerals that do your whole body good &#8212; and that includes your teeth and gums. It\u2019s won\u2019t be long until it\u2019s soup weather here in Lovell, so whip up a big pot of chicken broth and add in your favorite noodle soup recipe. Your family\u2019s dental health will benefit!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#5: Sip Your Green Tea<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe you\u2019re partial to a nice cup of joe in the morning, but consider adding a cup of green tea to your afternoon routine. A recent study conducted in Japan suggests that regular consumption of green tea can benefit your gum health. Green tea is full of antioxidants that are good for body and mind &#8212; so you really don\u2019t have anything to lose with this one. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to eating well, make sure you\u2019re visiting your dentist in Lovell WY for regular preventive care.
