When tooth decay becomes chronic, it can lead to other issues, such as gum disease and more serious oral health problems. Brushing, flossing, and regular trips to your dentist for cleanings and examinations are all part of a good regimen of preventive care. Sometimes, other natural remedies can help fight the battle against cavities. Here are a few suggestions:
- Water please – drinking more water can help your teeth. It removes bacteria from your teeth and mouth, while also encouraging production of saliva
- Choose tooth healthy foods – Break up the plaque on your teeth at snack time! Foods such as nuts and apples will attach plaque on your teeth. Eating more high-fiber foods is also beneficial because it increases production of saliva, which serves as a natural protector for your teeth
- Tea for two – Both green and black tea will reduce the build-up of plaque in the mouth by suppressing bacteria levels.
