Short of getting into a bar fight or
knocking your teeth out during an auto accident, there's no excuse for losing a
tooth. In fact, instead of looking for an excuse, you should be acknowledging
the fact that your tooth loss is most likely your own fault. Do you eat sugary
foods in excess? Do you fail to care for your teeth and gum? If so, then tooth
loss is inevitable (if it hasn't already occurred). Want to keep all your teeth
until your six feet under? Keep reading to learn how.
A human's mouth is loaded with bacteria.
Some of those bacteria are good bacteria, and some of it is quite nasty. In
fact, it's believed that a bite from a human being is actually more infectious
than a bite from a stray dog or feral cat. That's right: if you bite another
person and break their skin, the bacteria you infect them with are more
dangerous than any bacteria they can get from a dog bite!
The bacteria in our mouths feed on one
thing: sugar! The byproduct produced from bacteria feeding on sugar is an
acidic substance that erodes your tooth enamel. That substance is called
plaque. If you want to avoid plaque buildup, the first line of defense is to
simply stop eating sugary foods.
Brushing your teeth regularly, gargling
mouth wash and having the dentist check up your dental health will prove to be
important for your health. However, vegetables, such as carrots and fruits that
are rich in Vitamin C, apples and citrus fruits will give your body the
much-needed minerals, vitamins and fiber. Vitamin C also prevents bleeding of
gum due to bad oral heath. The bleeding of gum is also referred to as
gingivitis, a disease that eats up the tissue that support the teeth. Chewing
the fiber in the foods i have mentioned above will help remove the bacteria
infected plaque that builds inside your mouth.
You can use some dental instruments to do dental care everyday.
