\"Woman\u2019sEverywhere you turn, you see people raving about a new diet trend to detoxify the body or shed unwanted weight. It can be difficult to resist giving one a try. Despite your best intentions, you may find there are a few disadvantages to using certain methods. Many popular food fads can leave a lasting mark on your dental health. Here\u2019s what you need to know about 3 diet trends that can harm your smile.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Juice Cleanses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people choose juice cleanses because they assume they are healthy since they contain fruits. It\u2019s said they detoxify the digestive tract; however, medical professionals say that isn\u2019t necessary. Not only does your digestive system not require cleansing, but you won\u2019t get the fiber you need for healthy teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many juices also contain sugar or acid, which can erode your enamel. Since your enamel can\u2019t regenerate, once you\u2019ve lost it, it\u2019s gone for good. Besides an increased risk of tooth sensitivity and decay, oral bacteria responsible for gum disease thrive on the sugars found in many juices. If you can\u2019t resist a good cleanse, it is better to drink juice all at once instead of sipping it throughout the day. You may want to consider drinking it through a straw to limit its contact with your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Raw Food Diets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We live in a very health-conscious society, which has changed the way people choose their foods. Raw food diets are popular to avoid chemicals and preservatives. You can maintain a balanced diet by selecting the right foods, but don\u2019t just consider the nutritional content when planning your meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuts and other hard foods can lead to a broken or chipped tooth. Since your diet will also include plenty of fruits, you\u2019ll need to be proactive about preventing cavities from the natural sugars. You don\u2019t need to stray from your diet plans if you commit to brushing and flossing while also limiting your consumption of hard or sugary foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Small Meals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Research has shown people who eat 6 to 8 smaller meals instead of 3 consume less fat, more fruits and vegetables, and healthier carbs. Although this is great for your waistline, it\u2019s not so good for your smile. The more frequently you eat, the more often your teeth are exposed to cavity-causing bacteria. If you\u2019re certain smaller meals are right for you, it\u2019s important to step up your oral hygiene routine by brushing your teeth after every meal. Don\u2019t forget to snack smart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get a Healthy Mouth and Body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Skip the latest weight-loss trends by investing in a balanced diet to support a healthy mouth and body. Besides promoting your dental health at home, don\u2019t forget to visit your dentist at least twice a year for a cleaning and checkup<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
