Advice on dietary prevention
We can provide you with advice on dietary prevention for your teeth.
In adults loss of natural teeth is associated with poor nutritional status.
Consumption of sugars seems to be higher in older adults than in younger adults. A tendency towards reduced salivary flow together with a higher sugar intake and increased gum recession, places the older person with natural teeth, at greater risk of dental caries (root caries) than younger adults.
The most important cause of dental erosion in adults is regurgitation and acidic drinks. Dietary advice for dental health for adults with natural teeth should be consistent with general health dietary guidelines.
