Can you save your teeth from bacteria?

Staying healthy is a really important part of growing older.  Being in health is almost as good as being rich and well in many cases much better. Some of the most important parts of health are often neglected and because of that lots of pain and financial costs come in the long run from lack of care. 

In some ways it is a very good thing to stay on top of your health and create habits to help fight off possible ailments.  One of the most neglected areas due to the creation of habits is your dental health.  Many people create a bad habit of only taking care of their teeth a minimal amount and never changing that habit. So I want to go over a few things to help fight the evil bacteria that decays your teeth and work on best habits to stay healthy.

 

One of the first things I think of when it comes to helping your teeth is growing enamel while you can.  This as I have read is done with making sure your body has the correct amount of vitamins and minerals that promote tooth enamel growth.  I would suggest you ask your own personal healthcare provider which ones will be best for you.  I like to take calcium magnesium every morning because that promotes tooth enamel growth.  For me I want to make sure my strength of teeth as long as I can until my body is no longer able to grow.  I want to make sure my teeth are strong up until I am in my late years.

 

Now a good way to help fight bacteria and growth of tartar is to eat healthier foods that are not loaded with sugar and acid.  The acid and sugar will eat away at your teeth and buildup bacteria that is damaging to enamel.  This is a serious issue and is mostly based on diet and what you are eating and drinking.

  One place that I like to say to start at is to start lowering your intake of soda or pop.  Sugary drinks really hurt your dental health and lowering the intake really can lower the damage done to your teeth and keep them healthy for much longer. This is a very important part to staying healthy in the long run and cutting back on candy goes right along with this line of thinking. So stay safe and healthy and eat  and drink wisely.
