Surprising Causes of Tooth Decay by Zhanna

Winter is here, and with it comes many of our beloved holidays such as: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas , New Year's, and let us not forget the football season. What does the mentioning of these holidays bring to your mind? I think of : candy, sweet desserts, and all the yummy holiday specials that I’ll be enjoying over the months. 
All of us have heard and know that candy “rots” our teeth, and I’m sure we all know by now that sipping on soft drinks does the same thing. This also goes for energy drinks. They are packed with sugar and caffeine.  But one thing we don't think about is the carbohydrates that we consume such as: potato chips, breads, or innocent snacks like raisins, that we might give our children to eat between meals. Hey raisins are fruit, right?! 
Well as dental professionals would explain to us, all of the foods like potato chips, raisins, cereals and breads (with higher starch and sugar contents) do tend to “stick or cling” to our teeth much longer after consumption then fresh fruit or cheese would. Bacteria that live in our mouths “eats” these foods, turning them into acids. Lack of tooth brushing combine with those acids, and our saliva form into sticky plaque. The acids in plaque erodes enamel, the strongest structural defense of our teeth, creating holes in the teeth which are called cavities. Our saliva helps to buffer the acid and keep our mouths as clean as possible, but regular brushing and flossing are a MUST to keep plaque from forming on our teeth and causing decay. 
So the solution to less tooth decay would not be, no sweets or carbohydrates, but consumption of them at meal times and of course- regular tooth brushing!  As we all know health of our mouths links to our overall health. 
Do you all remember that old saying “ An apple a day keeps a doctor away”, could it possibly be “ An apple a day keeps a tooth decay away”?!?
Natural sugars and little to no starch content will be easier cleaned by our saliva which in turn causes less plaque and less decay…    Happy Holidays!

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com website: Https://emutemple.wordpress.com/ Https://web.facebook.com/Emu-Temple-104891335203341
