Diet And Dental Health...Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego Can Help
Diets
low in certain nutrients reduce resistance to oral and dental
infections, that is, periodontal disease (gum disease) and decay.
Dr. Bowden and Dr. Osmunson feel a
healthy immune system is essential to controlling periodontal disease.
Counseling in the Four Basic Food Groups will improve
dental health and
general health. The consumption of sugar, especially in sticky forms or
in a baby bottle while sleeping, contributes to the rapid development of
dental decay.
Together, a balanced diet, effective brushing,
and sensible eating habits can reduce the risk of, or even prevent,
infectious dental disease.
Please don't hesitate to call Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego at (888) 588-3745 if you need more information on
diet and its relationship to
dental health.
