Dental health and diet
 

Counseling in nutrition will improve dental health and general health.  The consumption of sugar, especially in sticky forms or in a baby bottle while sleeping, contributes to the rapid development of dental decay.

Eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains are excellent for dental health.  Supplements such as vitamin C, a multiple vitamin with minerals enhance dental health.

Together, a healthy diet, effective brushing and flossing, and sensible eating habits can reduce the risk of, or even prevent, infectious dental disease.

Please don't hesitate to call Dr. Stickney's office at 206 728-1330 if you need more information on diet or fluoride supplementation and its relationship to dental health.
