When it comes to dental health, what people eat and drink – and how they consume it – has a powerful impact on their teeth. And on the list of good and bad foods, there may be some surprises.
According to San Antonio cosmetic dentist Dr. John Moore, regular tooth brushing and flossing are only part of a tooth-healthy lifestyle.
The old adage You are what you eat is especially true for your teeth, Moore said.
