Bilogical Dentistry and Nutrition

BIOLOGICAL DENTISTRY AND NUTRITION

Biological dentists are aware of the intimate connection between dental health and nutrition.
The teeth require many minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, manganese and boron. These minerals are missing from refined foods. Refined sugars, white flour and white rice, for example, contain little if any of these essential trace minerals. Sugar in the diet feeds bacteria in the mouth that cause plaque and can destroy the teeth. Acidic cola drinks can damage tooth enamel. Phosphoric acid in these drinks also binds and removes calcium, magnesium and zinc from the body. This can lead to bone loss, a common problem today.
Vitamin C, bioflavinoids and many other nutrients are needed for the gums. Eating hard foods such as raw carrots and whole meal bread encourages chewing, which may improve the bite. Chewing natural foods realigned jaw and made braces unnecessary.
What”s Bioflavinoids?

Bioflavonoids enhance the action of Vitamin C and for this reason they should be taken together. Bioflavonoids are effectively used in the treatment of sport injuries as they are pain relieving. They may also be used in relieving pain in the legs, across the back and can lessen the symptoms of prolonged bleeding, a low serum calcium as well as oral herpes.

NUTRITION AND TEETH

NUTRITION

What is what is considered adequate food?.

A proper diet means lead a balanced diet so the body can get the necessary nutrients for maintaining good health. Every day, your body renews itself, forming new muscle, bone, skin and blood. The food you eat provides the basis of these new tissues. If your body is low in the nutrients they need, for your mouth will be more difficult to resist the infection. If children do not have a balanced diet, their teeth do not develop properly. To enable them to develop strong teeth resistant to decay, children need a balanced diet with an emphasis on calcium, phosphate and fluoride levels themselves.

What are the different types of nutrients?

A balanced diet consists of the following nutrients: Some carbohydrates Essential fatty acids (found in fats) The essential amino acids (found in proteins) Fifteen vitamins Approximately twenty-five minerals Water Because our body is unable to produce all the nutrients they need, especially certain vitamins, these are obtained from certain foods or supplements. The Department of Agriculture of the United States recommended for the general population to eat daily as follows: 6 to 11 servings of bread and cereal 3 to 5 servings of vegetables 2 to 4 servings of fruits 2 to 3 servings of dairy products 2 to 3 servings of meat, poultry, fish, eggs, beans or nuts Why is it important to eat well? A poor diet can promote gum disease and tooth decay. Foods rich in carbohydrates, sugars and starches contribute enormously to the production of fatty plaque that adheres to the enamel. Eventually, these acids can cause the destruction of the enamel forming a cavity. If you must eat a diet high in sugars or starches, try to eat during meals rather than between meals and avoid sticky foods because they can produce more plaque. Most meals already contain ingredients that produce acids. A lesser amount of exposure of their teeth to these ingredients, fewest for acid attack tooth enamel.
