Sugary foods have a direct negative affect on your teeth and gums, leading to tooth decay and gum disease. The best solution is to reduce the amount of sugar that you consume. Here are three recommendations which can work wonders:
- Avoid eating artificially sweetened foods.
- Choose seltzer over soft drinks such as soda.
- Substitute candy for alternatives such as dark chocolate and nut butter.
“Knowing how much sugar you consume can not only help you make changes in your diet to better protect your smile, but to maintain a healthy weight as well.”
