FAQ - Diet - How does it improve dental health?

< back to FAQ index

Overview

What is the link between diet and dental health? Simple and direct.

• A diet high in sugar (especially sugars in syrup form like high fructose corn syrup) feeds the bacteria in your mouth that produces the acid that breaks down your teeth and contributes to dental decay/cavities.
• A healthy diet improves immune system response, which in turn enhances your body's ability to fight off dental infections.

A lower consumption of sugars and a higher consumption of a balanced diet, together with effective brushing and flossing, lower the changes of tooth decay. It's that simple.
