Dentists named foods that help maintain healthy teeth

To keep your teeth healthy, you need to monitor your diet. UAPortal will tell you which products you should pay special attention to and which ones you should avoid.

Age-related changes have a negative impact on the condition of the teeth, so special attention should be paid to the teeth as we age. Decreased bone density and a slower cell renewal process negatively affect the condition of teeth and gums.

Coffee and soda drinkers are also at risk: regular consumption of such drinks weakens enamel and worsens tooth color. Doctors advise brushing your teeth twice a day and eating certain foods for their health.

Calcium

Since childhood, we have been told that we should eat cheese, milk and dairy products because they contain calcium, which is very useful for teeth. It strengthens the enamel, the outer shell of the tooth. The consumption rate for adults is 1000 mg/day.

Phosphorus

Protects and restores tooth enamel. Contained in meat, eggs, nuts, poultry and legumes. The consumption rate for adults is 700 mg/day.

Fiber

Fiber is found in fruits and vegetables (apples, celery, carrots, oranges). Consumption of these products stimulates salivation, removes food particles from the teeth and harmful acids. The consumption rate for adults is 400 mg/day.
