While some of them produce amazing results, they can potentially cause problems for your oral health. As a continue reading, a local dentist discusses the diet trends that can harm your smile so you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dolfielddental.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">prevent<\/a> any mishaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1 \u2013 Juice Cleanses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people rely on juice cleanses to help remove toxins from the digestive system. However, they can leave the body devoid of key nutrients, like vitamin D, calcium, potassium and phosphorous. Additionally, fruit-based juices are higher in sugar and acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following explains some of the harmful side effects of relying on juice cleanses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Enamel Damage <\/strong>\u2013 The acidity related to increased juice consumption can lead to enamel wear, and the darker pigmented fruits can cause staining.<\/li><li><strong>Tooth Instability <\/strong>\u2013 Low-calorie diets aid in weight loss by reducing the body\u2019s insulin production. However, this can lead to problems in collagen generation, which forms the connective tissue around the tooth root. Over time, this can lead to tooth loss.<\/li><li><strong>Plaque Formation <\/strong>\u2013 Oral bacteria love sugar. By consuming more juice, you may be vulnerable to plaque formation and tooth and gum decay.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For the sake of your oral health, it\u2019s a better idea to eat more solid fruits and vegetables than to simply juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2 \u2013 Raw Food Diets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike juice cleanses, raw food diets are considered to deliver more of the nutrients that the body needs. This style of eating still poses its fair share of challenges with the increased intake of fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that not all raw food diets are created equal. Foods like almonds, apples and spinach are better for your oral health, as they contain nutrients that protect your teeth and trim your waistline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3 \u2013 Small and Frequent Meals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people see results eating five to eight small meals throughout the day. The premise is that it helps to stoke the body\u2019s metabolism. Furthermore, there is evidence that it encourages fat and weight loss. Unfortunately, eating more often can also contribute to oral health issues, as the teeth are bathed with food particles throughout the day, making them more susceptible to bacteria and plaque growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning on eating more frequently, you\u2019ll need to step-up your dental hygiene. Brushing and flossing at least three times a day will help to keep tooth and gum decay at bay. For situations where you can\u2019t clean your teeth, keep mouthwash handy to remove any lingering debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting any new diet regimen to drop a few pounds, it\u2019s best to discuss it with your physician and dentist. Therefore, you can be sure that your efforts won\u2019t compromise your total wellness. By taking a more cautious approach, you can achieve your weight loss goals in a healthy, happy and lasting manner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Jacob Milner earned his dental degree from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry.
