Always wear a smmile on your face , this is the best make up... We are all aware about the ability of carbonated drinks to eat through tooth enamel. It’s not a pretty picture. Here are some of your smile’s worst enemies and best friends. THE ENEMIES LIST Soda, fruit juice, and sports drinks: They’re not only sugary but also acidic, and that creates a perfect home for the bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease. The realistic fix: Nobody’s saying you have to go cold turkey, but for all-day swigging, choose water. Sipping through straws reduces the amount of time your teeth are exposed to a drink. Sticky stuff: We’re not just talking gooey caramel or fruit rolls. Bread, crackers, chips, sweet rolls, and other refined carbohydrates are nearly as likely as a chocolate to cling to teeth. The realistic fix: Try to say no to sticky sweets and carbs when you can’t brush afterward. Alternatively, slosh some water around in your mouth. YOUR SMILE’S BEST FRIENDS Cheese, please: Eating a bit of cheese at the end of a meal helps protect teeth. The calcium in cheese helps harden teeth. Crunchy things: Crisp apples, celery and carrots are nature’s little toothbrush alternatives. Their rough, fibrous texture actually scrubs away as you chew. Have a cuppa: Drinking tea after eating can help destroy the germs that cause cavities, gum disease and less-than-fresh breath. That goes for both green and black tea. Mushrooms: These delicate, delicious flavour boosters contain lentinan, a plant substance that’s anything but a lightweight. It fights both tooth plaque and bacteria.
