Nutrition and Your Teeth

It has long been known that good nutrition and a well-balanced diet is one of the best defenses for your oral health. Providing your body with the right amounts of vitamins and minerals helps your teeth and gums—as well as your immune system—stay strong and ward off infection, decay and disease.

Harmful acids and bacteria in your mouth are left behind from eating foods high in sugar and carbohydrates. These include carbonated beverages, some kinds of fruit juices, and many kinds of starch foods like pasta, bread and cereal.

Children's Nutrition and Teeth


Good eating habits that begin in early childhood can go a long way to ensuring a lifetime of good oral health.

Children should eat foods rich in calcium and other kinds of minerals, as well as a healthy balance of the essential food groups like vegetables, fruits, dairy products, poultry and meat. Fluoride supplements may be helpful if you live in a community without fluoridated water, but consult with our office first. (Be aware that sugars are even found in some kinds of condiments, as well as fruits and even milk.)

Allowing your children to eat excessive amounts of junk food (starches and sugars)—including potato chips, cookies, crackers, soda, artificial fruit rollups and granola bars—only places them at risk for serious health problems, including obesity, osteoporosis and diabetes. The carbonation found in soda, for example, can actually erode tooth enamel. Encourage your child to use a straw when drinking soda; this will help keep at least some of the carbonated beverage away from the teeth.

There's no discounting the importance of continuing a healthy balanced diet throughout your adult life.

  • "We have been going to Dr. Lubinsky for many years. From the moment we walk into the office, we're greeted cheerfully. Some of the things that make this office unique are games for kids to play in the waiting room, dental chairs that massage your back and reduce stress, TV's in each examining room with HGTV on (my favorite). The hygienists are like friends now! They are all so professional with a teaching heart. I like to know what's being done and why. Thanks, Dr. Lubinsky and staff for making dental checkups almost fun!!! :))) My husband and I appreciate your care for each individual patient!"
