Tips for smart snacking
- Be careful of between-meal snacks
- Clear the snack from the teeth as soon as possible. Even a simple swish and rinse
with water will help. - Do not let snacks take the place of nutritionally balanced meals.

| A bright smile, fresh breath - that's what a healthy mouth means. It also means you can talk and laugh with confidence. Things you need to know about your dental health: FACT 1 You have not outgrown tooth decay. In fact, decay may be more of a problem for you during the teen years. FACT 2 Gum disease (gingivitis) is a risk to your dental health. It is also a threat to your appearance. Gum disease causes red and swollen gums, bleeding gums and bad breath. FACT 3 You will have all your permanent teeth with the possible exception of your wisdom teeth (third molars). During these growing years, your face and jaws will undergo many changes. You can be healthy and attractive through these changes by taking good care of your teeth and visiting with Dr. Shah at our clinic. |
How can you keep a healthy smile?
It is up to you! What you do and do not do is important. Here is a checklist for a healthy
smile:
It is up to you! What you do and do not do is important. Here is a checklist for a healthy
smile:
- Eat intelligently! Life is going to be hectic now. Choose fresh fruits and vegetables
instead of junk foods even when you eat on the run. - Snack smart. Be careful of snack foods containing sugar; they can cause damage to
the teeth and gums. - Practice good prevention. Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Brush effectively
using a fluoridated toothpaste. Floss to prevent gum disease and tooth decay on the
sides of the teeth. - Keep up your dental checkups. Tooth cleaning, fluoride treatments and sealants are
important preventive services for you. - Do not smoke or chew tobacco! The warnings you hear and read are true. Besides
lung and heart problems, tobacco can cause oral cancer. Of all cancers, 2.4 percent
occur in the mouth, and tobacco is estimated to account for over 90 percent of cancers
of the oral cavity and pharynx* If you are using tobacco and notice any changes in
your mouth contact your doctor immediately! - Buckle up in the car. A seat belt and shoulder harness can keep your face from
striking the steering wheel, dashboard or windshields during minor accidents.
