Day 236: One thing I learned today…
The condition of your teeth is connected to your diet.
Did you know that gluten can cause enamel defects? I also learned that you swallow about 10 Billion bacteria per day and some can cause inflammation. The diet you eat feeds the bacteria in your mouth. Inflammation in the gut can lead to poor condition in the teeth. Everything is connected.
Some things to consider to enhance oral health:
Increased fiber helps clean teeth
Reduce processed carbs and snacking
Drink a little water after eating
Use an electric toothbrush
