What Sugar Does To Your Teeth

| June 11, 2012 | 16 Comments

Your teeth naturally produce what’s known as plaque, Plague is a soft, sticky colourless substance that forms on your gums and teeth, it’s what gives your teeth that furry feeling. Sugar combines with plaque and forms an acid.



Sugar Foods





The acid is what eats away at your tooth enamel in turn creating cavities. You cannot prevent plaque from forming. Plaque is always one of the main causes for gum disease and also promotes bad breath. The best way to minimise the affects of plaque is to reduce your daily sugar intake and always remember to floss and brush in-between meals, Even better if you visit one of your local dentist for a routine teeth clean.

    Thanks, WW. I’ve been asking God to keep my wisodm teeth in my head for a few years, now. I figured that He made them. Whey do they always have to come out? But I have to admit, my prayers, even though well-founded, were still partly based on fear of extraction. Now I’ve told God I’m willing to do extraction if that’s what’s needed, but of course I prefer to keep them if possible. Ah well, maybe God gave us wisodm teeth to make us wise through trials with them after all…As for my other cavities, I found out some interesting news, so stay tuned. I’ll share it over the next few days. (Minus Sunday–I don’t usually post on that day of the week.)Thanks for stopping by. :)
