• Cut down on frequency in sugary foods and drinks (it’s better to have large amount of sweets once a day rather than small amounts few times a day)
• Visit dentist as regularly, as recommended.
This is the message proclaim for 40 years by National Smile Month, UK’s largest and longest running oral health campaign. It’s address to anyone who is interesting in good oral health. National Smile Month co-operate with schools, health professionals, colleges, pharmacies, community groups or workplaces to raise awareness and interest in healthy eating habits and good oral hygiene with smile and lots of fun along the way. Running usually between 18 May and 18 June.
Target audience- anyone who is interesting in good oral hygiene and groups more prone to snack on the sweets like kids.

It’s 28-day national stop smoking challenge stating that by stopping smoking for 28 days means you are five times more likely to quit for good. Stoptober support is free and
In dental health consume cane sugar at 5 minutes can make acid level at which tooth decay occurs, it also included eat fruit sugar and honey because the high acid levels are measured by low PH values and the line hows eat of sugar or honey in 5 minutes in time elapsed after eating have low level of PH values, in other hand , if we consume sugar or honey in 7 level og PH values, the acid level that can produces highly which make tooth decay is unlikely in time elapsed after eating is 40 minutes and
Avoid sodas and caffeine because the sugar may worsen your condition and cause tooth erosion.
Soda is an acid sugar drink that sits on your teeth and piles us over time if you don't brush your teeth it can be a very bad consequence. For example, let's say that you have basketball morning practice at 6:00am and you need a drink so you drink out of the soda water fountains. You get done with practice at 8:00am and then you take another drink. By the time your get out of school its about 3:00pm and you decide you want to stay for the volleyball game. You get another drink before the game and then one more at 8:00pm when the game is done. You get home and you brush your teeth and go to bed at 9:00. This soda has been sitting on your teeth for about 15 hours! This will not be
In a three-person case study, Dr. Mohamed Bassiouny studied the teeth of a diet soda drinker and two drug addicts and found identical dental erosion among all 3. When the enamel was worn away, teeth became more open to cavities and other problems. With a pH of 3.2, diet soda is very acidic (Meredith).
Prevention of oral disease is critical in Early Head Start (EHS) programs. “Early childhood caries has emerged as a concern over the past few years because of its widespread and increasing prevalence, its inequitable distribution among preschool-aged children and its negative consequences for children, their families, and public health programs” (Mofidi, Zeldin, & Rozier, 2009, p. 245). Assessable to young children in most parts of the United Stated, dental care provides treatment, particularly to children in low-income families. Rates of failure to treat oral health has increase tremendously. Approaches explored by EHS programs to treat as well as prevent will decrease high-risk for early childhood caries.
Maybe you’re one of those people, but that’s not enough. Plaque and tartar build up in places you can’t reach. That’s why you should see a dentist every six months for a cleaning. Don’t avoid it. On oralb.com, it says that “many dentists pay close attention to tartar and plaque buildup. That’s because those are the causes of all of these horrible pains and embarrassments that people have to deal with everyday. Dentists check for loose or broken fillings because a lot of the time you can’t feel that. If left untreated it can cause an abscess tooth, which I don’t know if you’ve ever had one, but it hurts so bad. If you treat these things early enough, you avoid having an expensive dentist bill with root canals and tooth extractions and gum surgery. I want you to visualize. Visualize having no pain in your mouth. Visualize eating an ice cream cone with your teeth. Yeah, or drinking soda and not having to worry about the stains it’ll leave on your teeth. Think about the fact that you would have overall health and your body would be better because with your teeth, when you eat, you eat everything that you can and should. So, yeah, you have soda and coffee, which are very good to you, but you can also have a
When you take a sip of soda, the sugar and acid attack your teeth for twenty minutes, starting over with each sip (“WDA”). Soft drinks have a very harmful effect on teeth. They have emerged as one of the most significant sources of tooth decay (“Colgate”).
In this experiment, it was used to help show the children the damage soda can do to your teeth and why brushing after drinking it is important. The children can relate to this because the egg’s shell is similarly to the enamel of a child’s tooth. Since some of the eating and drinking habits of ours make it difficult for the enamel to protect our teeth from damages, doing this can help the child to start brushing their teeth. As teachers, we can also check for understanding by talking to them about good dental hygiene practices. To let the students know that it is important to brush their teeth every day, making sure to explain how certain foods, drinks, and activities can stain the teeth. And then talk about how too much acidic drinks will erode the outside of the teeth. The students enjoyed this lesson and had shared their many experiences about the teeth or dental visit. I loved this lesson also because we can connect with the children and learn more about
2. Brush your teeth immediately after eating. Also do the same with your gums and tongue in a smooth and constant manner.
Basics about teeth and mouth.One reason, is having strong teeth.Having strong teeth means eating healthy foods.If you want healthy teeth, you need to limit sugary teeth foods and eat foods and drinks.Eating vitamins helps the teeth be strong and healthy.Brushing your teeth helps to prevent cavities and plaque.Flossing is one way to get rid of food in between your teeth.Second reason, cavities help prevent strong teeth.Cavities remove minerals in your teeth, it also makes openings in between your teeth.Foods that make cavities are most likely to be breads and candy.For example, chips, bread, pasta, or candy can cause cavities.Flour in all those breads are is like sugar.Braces can have good benefits.Third reason, the cost of the braces can
Although many Americans have good oral hygiene due to fluoride and making everyday good decisions, others do not have any access at all to oral health care. Over the years, dentists have been trying to demonstrate the importance of oral care. (“Access to Dental Care”) From commercials to campaigns, dentists will continue to demonstrate to their patients as well as to the people who don't have insurance the importance of oral health care. They will teach them preventative care and some techniques on how to prevent from getting any diseases.
After each food or sugary drink teeth are under acid attack for up to one hour. This is because the bacteria found in plaque, feast on the sugar, and produce harmful acids as a result. So it is important to have sugary foods or
Oral-B Advantage Sensitive toothbrush to limit attrition; Encourage Jenny to drink water throughout the day to decrease the acidity level in the mouth or take sugarless gum with xylitol increases saliva flow and may balance the acidic environment; Jenny should limit her lemon juice and flat coke consuming, and use a straw if she has to drink the beverages; Scrape the tongue with brush or cleaner after vomiting to remove the retained acid in the tongue papillae. Jenny should be prescribed toothpaste such as Sensodyne ProNamel or PreviDent 5000 during the pregnancy to help with erosion.
Generally, your dental hygiene becomes weakened when you lack the minerals that are needed. The higher the acidic level is within your consumption can be very brutal, it can make your teeth enamel softer and weaken your teeth strength. You end up lacking calcium which is supposed to make your bones stay strong. Soft drinks have the highest sugar and acid, yet lower the pH level compared to water. “It takes 32 glasses of water to neutralize a glass of cola” (Radomski, 40). Citric acid in cola makes a weakness of dental, changing the neutralization of saliva and destroys enamel surface as Ph.D. Manny explained the article Soft drinks and dental erosion, “Citric acid is the predominant acid in non- cola drinks and is especially erosive to teeth because it chelates calcium effectively” (Radomski, 41). If a kid drinks a can of soda every day, his enamel will be declining, stained teeth and cavities and plaque will start to build their teeth. Children’s teeth are new and weak, they must learn to take care of their teeth while they are young. Drinking a lot of soft drinks is a bad habit that most children have a hard time controlling. The oral
The purpose of this paper is to provide evidence that the consumption of fast food has a detrimental effect on the quality of society’s overall dental health. With the growth of the fast food industry over the last sixty years, Americans and global citizens have altered their eating habits by consuming a higher level of processed foods with additives and preservatives. The typical diet is comprised of foods high in refined sugars and fermentable carbohydrates instead of natural foods such as fruits, vegetables and nuts. The fast food industry promotes convenience and consumption of soft drinks and snacks in between meals. The continuous sugar intake during the day promotes increased levels of bacteria producing acid which attacks the enamel of teeth. Biological mechanisms to clear the acid, such as saliva cannot prevent the ultimately increased risk of tooth decay against this increased sugar intake. As a result, the role of a dental hygienist is promoting dental hygiene awareness and a proper oral care routine must also incorporate a conversation about healthy daily eating habits.
