CAVITIES

SYMPTOMS

• Tooth pain, worse from hot or cold food and drinks, sweets
• Holes or pits in the teeth

ROOT CAUSES

• Poor hygiene (improper brushing and flossing)
• Diet
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Imbalance of mouth flora
• Genetics
• Dry mouth occurring as the result of chemotherapy, radiation or autoimmune diseases
• Eating disorders
• Acid reflux

Recommended Food

Hard cheese has been shown to fight cavities in children. It seems to increase the uptake of calcium and phosphate cells by the surface of the tooth enamel.

Components of green tea and oolong tea, both derived from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, have been shown to decrease acid production by the common mouth bacterium Streptococcus mutans.

Consume fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, which stimulate saliva flow. Pomegranates and pomegranate juice, as well as cranberry, have a unique action of reducing the effects of bacteria that cause cavities.

Chew gum or use lozenges that contain xylitol. This is a natural sugar alcohol derived from corn that reduces acid in the mouth and promotes a strain of Streptococcus mutans that is less cavity-causing than typical. This regimen is best started one year before permanent teeth erupt.

Foods to Avoid

Soda pop, candy, and other simple sugars including refined carbohydrates like white bread and crackers.

Do not keep citrus fruits in your mouth for a long time as the acid can erode enamel.
