- Abstract
The article "Mouth: Healthy Eating: Learning how food affects your oral health is the first step toward mouth-healthy eating" discusses the impact of food on oral health. It explains that certain foods, particularly those high in fermentable carbohydrates like sugary snacks and drinks, can lead to tooth decay by producing acids that dissolve tooth enamel. On the other hand, foods that increase saliva flow, such as cheese and sugarless gum, can help protect teeth against decay. The article also emphasizes the importance of overall good nutrition and provides guidelines for a healthy diet. It concludes by recommending regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups to maintain oral health.
