Sometimes you hear that it’s a good idea to eat nuts if you want a healthy smile. Other times, you hear that nuts can be dangerous if you don’t want to damage your teeth. Here’s the real deal: Nuts are generally very good for your teeth and gums because they’re full of nutrients and they’re low in sugar. They become risky if they’re difficult to chew. Choose slivers or chopped nuts instead if this is a problem, so your smile stays intact.
You may hear all sorts of things about dairy. One second it’s good for you, the next, it’s responsible for allergies and other problems. From our perspective, it’s a fantastic food for you if you are trying to maintain a healthy smile. It’s very low in sugar (which means it doesn’t contribute much to the possibility of decay), it comes in many delicious forms, and it offers your body a hefty serving of calcium.
