Nutrition plays a very important role in maintaining healthy teeth. The food should contain a sufficient amount of lime, which is necessary for the formation of hard tissue of the teeth. Pregnant women need to drink lime water every day (a tablespoon) or take a special medicine, as the fetus draws lime from the mother’s body to form the skeletal system, which leads to the destruction of her teeth.
It is important to limit the intake of sugar, acidic foods; eat wholemeal bread, raw vegetables. Fibrous refined food remains on the teeth in the form of a sticky mass, causing them great harm. You should not take very cold or very hot food, especially if they alternate with each other. Sweets are best eaten after meals, not before.

Be healthy!
