I don't have a sweet tooth, but still got a tooth cavity! This was the concern of one of my patients. Do you too believe that sugar is the only culprit for tooth decay? In that case, let's first understand how a dental cavity develops: ▶️ The process begins with a buildup of plaque, the sticky substance that covers teeth every day. (Tip: We can’t prevent plaque from forming, but we can keep it from causing problems by brushing our teeth daily) ▶️ The bacteria in the plaque then convert carbohydrates into acids. ❌ Any simple or refined carbohydrates (like pasta and bread) act as food for the bacteria. ❌ Carbohydrates are essentially sugars and they are also found in healthy foods such as whole grains, dairy, fruits, and even vegetables. ❌ Food and drinks that are high in acid, even sugar-free sodas, contribute to tooth decay as well. ❌ Tooth decay can be caused by any carbohydrate intake and not just sugar. ▶️ Acids in plaque will attack tooth enamel and start to cause tiny areas of decay. ▶️ These small holes or pits provide shelter for mouth bacteria to hide and reach deeper into the tooth, causing the small area of decay to become bigger cavities. The moral of the story: Any carbohydrate that sticks to tooth/acidic food + poor oral hygiene + over a period of time = dental cavity. PS: Do you have a sweet tooth or enjoy salty treats? In either case, don't forget to rinse your mouth afterwards! Do follow Dr. Pooja Siwach for daily insights on oral health! #toothcavity #sweettooth Pic credit: Roots and dentistree

🚨🍊 Grapefruit & Medication: A Cautionary Tale! #foodandnutrition Lauren Manaker, RDN, highlights the importance of understanding how grapefruit can affect the effectiveness of certain medications like statins, blood pressure drugs, and antihistamines. This citrus fruit may increase medication concentrations or impact absorption, posing a risk of enhanced side effects. 🍹💊 Looking for alternatives? Consider swapping grapefruit for oranges, apples, pears, or berries to avoid interactions while still enjoying your fruits. 🍏🍓🍐 If grapefruit is a must-have, timing could be key—waiting a few hours post-medication might make it safer, but always consult your doctor first.

💡 Experiencing discomfort and sensitivity after getting a dental filling is common. Choosing the right foods can help ease this period and prevent further issues. After a filling, your teeth and gums are more sensitive, requiring gentle and easy-to-eat foods to aid in the healing process without causing damage or discomfort. Stick to soft, non-irritating foods like broth-based soups, applesauce, mashed avocado, protein shakes, and yogurt, and avoid very hot or extremely cold foods, crunchy or hard items like popcorn and nuts, sticky foods like caramel, and spicy or acidic foods.

Food Labels and Their Importance in Preventing Dental Caries in Children : . . . . Food labels provide essential information about the nutritional content of packaged foods, including details on sugar content, carbohydrates, and other ingredients that can impact oral health. Reading food labels helps parents make informed choices to reduce their children's intake of sugary and acidic foods, which are major contributors to dental caries (tooth decay). Excessive consumption of added sugars, commonly found in snacks, candies, and sugary drinks, promotes bacterial growth in the mouth, leading to acid production that erodes tooth enamel. By checking food labels for hidden sugars (such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose) and opting for low-sugar or sugar-free alternatives, parents can help protect their children’s teeth from decay. Encouraging the habit of reading food labels also promotes a balanced diet with essential nutrients like calcium and phosphorus, which are vital for strong teeth and overall oral health. Educating parents and caregivers about food labels empowers them to make healthier dietary choices, contributing to long-term dental well-being in children. #cavityfreekids #dentalcaries #sugarindiet #preventivedentistry #mouthfullwithcavities #cariesfreechild
