At Southern Cross Dental, our staff wants you to know why dairy is beneficial to your dental health. There are thousands of varieties of cheeses in the world, which can come from several different species such as cows, goats, and sheep. Cheese is high in calcium and calcium plays a role in the development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth as well as milk and yogurt. Because of this, you may want to eat more of these dairy products if you desire strong healthy teeth.
Consuming dairy products is vital to maintaining good overall health, and it’s especially important to bone health. According to the Academy of General Dentistry, cheese protects your pearly whites from acid erosion – the breakdown of enamel brought on by coffee, tea, wine soda, etc. Eating cheese also reduces cavities because it helps maintain a healthy pH level in the mouth that is safe for teeth. So next time you go grocery shopping be sure to pick up some aged cheddar, Swiss, blue, brie or Monterey Jack cheeses to keep your smile healthy.
