Did you know that how you chew your food has a huge impact on your oral and gut health? The longer you chew your food, the greater the absorption will be for your teeth to receive the nutrients you need. The goal is to break down your food into small particles that will be digestible for your body. Taking the time to chew your food will create more saliva, which will then allow for tooth remineralization and maintain a healthy mouth. Contact us today at (956) 383-4400 to schedule your next appointment!
