Citrus Heights Dentists Recommend a Healthy Diet

By John Corey


Whether you're new in town or simply want to find a new Citrus Heights dentist, here are a few tips to help you choose the right dentist. If you're moving to Citrus Heights, the best thing you can do is to ask your current dentist to give you a reference. If your dentist suggests someone, then your job becomes easy. If you cannot get references from a dentist, then, you could also enquire with friends, relatives, colleagues, neighbors and pharmacists. You could even ask for referrals from your physician.

Fruits like apples and oranges contain a lot of Vitamin C, which holds cells together. Disregarding this vitamin could cause gums to break down and be more prone to disease and infection. Vitamin C also boosts the immune system which benefits not just your teeth but your whole body. Foods low in acid like milk and yogurt are good for teeth. Less acid means less wear. Milk has lots of calcium, which is the main element of teeth and bones. Cheese also contains calcium and phosphates, which balances out acid levels in the mouth, restores tooth enamel and helps produce saliva.

Animal meat like beef, turkey, chicken and chicken eggs have lots of phosphorous. Along with calcium, phosphorous is another very important mineral for strong and healthy teeth and bones. Eating these foods would give your dentist an easier time with your teeth in general.

Remember that many dental procedures take multiple sittings. Therefore, it is crucial to choose a dental facility that is easily accessible. Your doctor must also be available during hours that are convenient to you. A look at the dentist's office lets you know more about the dentist, staff and equipment. A well managed office inspires confidence. State of the art equipment means you will be getting the right amount of care. Staff who take an interest in you and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable help you relax. Observe whether the staff wear protective gear like gloves during treatment procedures. If they are meticulous, you've come to the right place.

All that aside, there is one thing that most people neglect to say when it comes to consumables which are healthy for the teeth. That one thing is water, the universal solvent, seventy point nine percent of the Earth's surface and vital for all form of life on the planet. Water produces saliva and washes the oral cavity. By mixing with saliva, water sets down minerals into the teeth and keeps it hydrated. It also washes out food particles from teeth. Only a good Citrus Heights dentist will tell you that.
