🚫 The role of dietary carbohydrates in the causation of dental caries is well established. The process of caries initiation consists of the metabolism of simple carbohydrates by bacteria in the dental plaque which produces acids. The production of these acids causes the pH of dental plaque to fall below the critical level leading to softening of tooth structure which may overtime result in the development of dental caries.
🚫 The form, frequency, timing and total amount of sugar intake are significant in the initiation of the caries process.
🚫 Exposure to acid from the consumption of acidic or sugar-sweetened foods and beverages can lead to softening and loss of tooth structure.
🚫 The combination of sugar and food acids can be particularly destructive.
✅ Sugar-free confectioneries without added acids, including chewing gums, are dentally safe alternatives to caries-producing confectionery containing sugar.
✨ However, the main objective of oral health education is to encourage individuals to consume a recommended limited amount of simple carbohydrate foodstuffs and thus reduce the need for sugar and sugar substitutes.
✨ Always read the food label to make healthy food choices!

✅ Fresh foods are best.
✅ Read the food label and list of ingredients. Choose foods that do not have sugars listed in the top three ingredients.
🚫 Avoid snacks that are sticky, chewy, or sweet. These take longer to clear from the teeth. This can increase the risk of tooth decay.
✅ Calcium rich foods and drinks such as milk, cheese and some fish should be promoted as the preferred source of dietary calcium.

✨ Tooth-friendly foods and snacks include:
Fresh vegetables, e.g. carrots and celery pieces.
Fresh fruits, instead of fruit juice or dried fruit.
Yogurts and cheese is good for teeth EXCEPT when extra sugar has been added. Read the label and ingredients to check the sources of sugar.

📌 Tooth decay (dental caries) and gum disease (periodontal disease) are two of the most common diseases experienced by Australians.
📌 Plaque is the primary cause of both diseases.
📌 Oral hygiene strategies can reduce plaque levels and deliver effective preventative agents to the sites of potential or established disease.
✅ Alcohol-free mouthwash is an example of a proven aid to reduce plaque and bacteria.

✅ Both children and adults should clean between their teeth daily.
✅ Cleaning between your teeth removes food and bacteria that build up every day.
✅ Parents should start cleaning between their kid’s teeth once they have teeth touching side-by-side. This is about 2 years of age.
📌 Other interdental cleaning alternatives include water flossers, floss picks or flossettes.

✅ Choose a toothbrush with a small head and soft bristles.
✅ Follow the same brushing routine every day. This can help to make sure you reach every tooth.
✅ Hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle towards the gums and brush gently in small circles.
🚫 Do not scrub from side to side, this can damage your teeth and gums.
✅ Gently brush the top of your tongue.
✅ After brushing, spit out the fluoride toothpaste but do not rinse your mouth with water.
✨ Fluoride in toothpastes helps to strengthen enamel and protect teeth from developing decay.
