Why do your teeth like healthy foods?
Eating healthy foods every day makes your immune system stronger and you are more resistant to different bacteria and illnesses. Healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and whole-grain products usually have also less calories and less sugar than fast food and sweets. Your teeth like foods that have less sugar, because Tooth bacteria Streptococcus mutans also known as Tooth Monsters feed on sugar and they love everything with a lot of sugar in it. They can grow and build an acidic environment in your mouth and thereby cause dental cavities. So eating healthy every day helps to prevent dental decay.
Why is brushing teeth so important?
