Does My Dentist Care About My Diet?

a government dietary table consisting of fruits, grains, protein, dairy, and vegetables When people in the St Charles IL area think of diet and oral health, they typically think about the damage sweet drinks can cause to teeth. While it’s true that these dangerous sugars cause increased acidity in the mouth and lead to tooth decay, soda, and sugary fruit drinks are only part of the problem.

The typical American diet tends to be high in calories and low in nutrition, even here in Elgin and South Elgin.

If your body is lacking in vital nutrients, the tissues in the mouth may have trouble resisting infection. These dangerous infections can lead to gum disease.

A few years ago, the U.S. Department of Agriculture unveiled the MyPlate graphic to illustrate a healthy diet. Half of our meals should be composed of fruits and vegetables and the rest should be equally divided between lean protein, whole grains, and low-fat dairy.

While this is an excellent resource, vital dietary needs change throughout life, so it’s a good idea to call David A. Rice, DDS at 847-741-2353 and schedule a check-up with Dr. David Rice to see if your diet is affecting your teeth.

When you eat a balanced diet and feel your best, you’ll want to look your best, so be sure to ask our comfortable staff about cutting-edge cosmetic dentistry procedures such as smile redesigns and same day restorations.

At David A. Rice, DDS, our menu of services includes crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, dental implants, tooth-colored fillings, sealants, teeth whitening, and clear braces.
