5 min read

What you eat and drink can influence your oral health. A balanced diet helps support teeth and gums.
Choose tooth-friendly foods
- Fresh vegetables and whole fruits
- Calcium-rich foods such as milk and yogurt
- Water throughout the day
- Balanced meals with varied nutrients
Be mindful of sugar
Frequent sugary snacks and drinks increase the risk of tooth decay. Try to keep them occasional rather than snacking throughout the day.
Small choices make a difference
Combine sensible food choices with regular brushing, daily interdental cleaning, and dental checkups.
