Beautiful smile for healthy lifestyle

I already wrote about the importance of a healthy and balanced diet and how essential it is for the whole body. One of the things on which diet also influences is oral hygiene and teeth. Regime that includes brushing your teeth twice a day and regular check up with dentist is main for helping your teeth stay healthy. Smoking, drinking alcohol and food you eat also influence on dental health.

A healthy diet, good for your teeth includes a lot of fruit and vegetables, bread with wholegrain, proteins such as fish, meat, eggs, milk... You should minimize food and drinks rich with fat and sugar if you want to prevent tooth decay. That means to stay away from: sweets, chocolate, cakes, sugary drinks, milky drinks with added sugar, alcohol, sugary breakfast cereals, ice cream, jams, marmalades, syrups and sweet sauces,....

About the link between cigarettes and teeth, smoking can stain teeth yellow, cause problems with breathing, bad breath and increases risk of gum disease, mouth and lung cancer. So if this doesn't make you give up smoking, I don't know what will? Give an effort and quit smoking, you're going to look and feel much better.

Alcohol is also influences bad on your teeth because it can lead to mouth cancer, erode the outer of the teeth which can cause enamel loss. In that case, you need to visit the dentist for filling.
Some foods and drinks can stain your teeth. Here I mean on coffee and tea, wine and cigarettes. Use them the less you can to prevent your teeth stained. And visit your dentist regularly....just take care about your teeth health because there is no nicer things than a smile :)
