\"\"WE BELIEVE IN PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY <\/strong>and yes, much of that depends on you! Cleaning your teeth after<\/em> you eat is important, but the effects of good habits also have a lot to do with what<\/em> you eat.<\/p>\n

Keep Your Smile Healthy By Packing Great Lunches<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Eating on-the-go <\/strong>can be problematic. In the morning, grabbing a donut is much easier than making an omelette! But taking the time to think through what you\u2019re eating for lunch is really important for both your oral and<\/em> overall health. Whether you\u2019re planning your own lunch or you\u2019re making lunch for your kids to take to school, keep these three smile-friendly lunch tips in mind.<\/p>\n

1. Switch Out The Troublemakers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Chewy, sweet foods like gummies or dried fruits<\/strong> like Craisins can be really bad for your teeth because they stick! For a sweet treat, choose fresh fruit or even a little bit of chocolate.<\/p>\n

Processed, starchy crackers or chips are trouble-makers<\/strong>. They stick to teeth and turn into sugars very quickly. Opt for whole grains instead\u2014or even better, some healthy nuts or seeds.<\/p>\n

2. Reconsider What You Drink<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Soda and sports drinks are bad news for your teeth. Some fruit juices are loaded with sugar and acid as well. Consider milk or water instead.<\/strong> Chocolate milk may be a good option too. It offers protein and almost half of your daily calcium.<\/p>\n

If you just can\u2019t kick the soda habit, drink water after you finish lunch to help clean and rebalance your mouth.<\/p>\n

3. Use Natural Scrubbers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are certain foods that actually help<\/em> your teeth. For example, yogurt and cheese can cut acidity <\/strong>making something like fruit juice less harmful. And then there are great fruits and vegetables that scrub your teeth when you eat them and get rid of built-up sugars and starches from your lunch. These include celery, apples, carrots, cucumbers, and pears.<\/strong><\/p>\n
