Why is your diet important?

What you eat isn't only important to your overall health but it can also directly affect the health of your teeth and gums.

• Diets that are high in acidic or sugary foods can cause tooth decay. These foods don't have to be avoided altogether; they just need to be consumed in moderation.
• Avoid snacking between meals - it'll lengthen the time that your teeth will be under attack!
• Limit intake of sticky, chewy and sugary food
• Erosion may occur from high-acidic food and drinks including energy drinks, sports drinks, cordials, wine and soft drinks. The more you take in, the more you can say goodbye to your teeth!
