Cheese not SugarHealthy EatingAn unhealthy diet can cause a wide variety of oral health problems including tooth loss, dental erosion and decay. It can also lead to many general health problems. People should eat a healthy balanced diet, including five portions of fruit and vegetables per day. What foods can cause decay?All sugars can cause decay. Sugar can come in many forms, for example: sucrose, fructose and glucose are just three types. These sugars can all damage your teeth. Many processed foods have sugar in them, and th higher up it appears in the list of ingredients, the more sugar there is in the product. Always read the list of ingredients on the labels when you are food shopping. When you read the labels remember that "no added sugar" does not necessarily mean that the product is sugar free. It simply means that no extra sugar has been added. These products may contain sugars such as those listed above, or the sugars may be listed as "carbohydrates". Ask your dentist if you are unsure.
