It is a known fact that oral health is a must if you want to enjoy overall wellness, the World Health Organization stresses that there is a proven relationship between oral health and general health and well-being.
Today, dental diseases are increasing day by day, and one of the main reasons is consuming large amounts of sugar. There is no denying the link between high sugar consumption and diabetes, obesity and tooth decay.
According to “everydayhealth,” consuming sugars is where our struggle often begins, and we end up losing the battle to keep our teeth healthy and strong. But did you know that the body has a built-in defense mechanism for our vulnerabilities to sugar?
Tooth sensitivity and remineralization
When we eat something and this is supercharged on a diet leaning towards carbohydrates and sugars, plaque bacteria break down these foods to produce lactic acid which dissolves the enamel crystals in our teeth. As our teeth lose their mineral content, this process is called demineralization. This stage can lead to Dental problems such as white spots, tooth sensitivity and cavities.
But there is a natural process of tooth repair called remineralization. You can compare this stage to dental nutrition as calcium and phosphate minerals from our saliva are deposited back on the surface of the tooth enamel. The minerals combine to form enamel crystals that we lost in the purification process and restore the foundation and strength of our teeth.
