To limit the impact on your health, prevention and oral care will be very important, following these tips:

• Do not neglect dental hygiene: brushing after each meal, including the tongue and between the teeth with dental floss.

  Consult your dentist about the use of mouthwashes, some should not be used in certain cases or on a daily basis.

• Consumption of nougat: hard nougat has less sugar than soft or chocolate nougat (dark chocolate (70%) is better). There are also nougats on the market without added sugars. 

  Be careful when eating hard nougat because it can fracture teeth, fillings or damage orthodontic treatments.

• Consumption of sweets and soft candies: increases their adherence to the teeth and produce more caries problems and gum inflammation. In addition to the quality and quantity, the frequency of consumption affects a lot.
• Control of alcohol and tobacco consumption.
• Sugar-containing, carbonated and acidic beverages: we recommend the use of straws.
• • Halitosis: as a consequence of the consumption of more elaborated, fatty and spicy foods, we will compensate with good hygiene and healthy foods (vegetables, fruits ....).
  • Teeth are not tools, so do not use them to open bottles, packages, nuts (walnuts, pistachios) .... Beware also with seafood, some are very hard and can fracture natural teeth, dentures or orthodontic treatments.

    We recommend the use of nutcrackers and tweezers suitable for this purpose.
