Although physician control or practices are an important way to fight against caries, the ideal solution is the fight that the individual will give with his own means. Because the physician is dealing with a problem that has emerged and occurred. In fact, it is too late. It is a restoration and what is lost is lost. But if the individual can create a good oral hygiene and a conscious nutrition culture, he will have the best fight against caries. Good oral care and nutritional habits are good as they will reduce our need for not only dental but also other health services. Less medical service will make us advantageous in every aspect of time, materially and spiritually. If we look at dental and oral health, our treatment expenses will decrease, the time we spend will decrease, and most importantly, our teeth and gums will continue to serve us in the next stages of our lives. The harms of tooth loss are not only chewing loss and aesthetic deterioration, as is thought.
One aspect of the effective fight against tooth decay is to consciously transform our eating habits. Compared to a hundred years ago, the ratio of industrial or manufactured foods to natural foods we consume has increased rapidly. While a century ago we had almost no industrial food, today we can find food that is not an industrial product. Apart from the fact that foods contain substances that are directly harmful to human health, fast-dissolving sugars, foods with strong destructive effects due to their acidity, foods that can be swallowed almost without the need to chew due to lack of fiber, foods that frustrate the self-cleaning mechanisms of the mouth, worsen our oral health and protect us against caries. leaves you more vulnerable.
It is necessary to choose more natural, less processed fiber foods as much as possible, and to choose foods that are not sugars that dissolve slowly and are not acidic. Red meat increases the acidity of our body, acid has many harms other than our teeth. For example, cancer cells develop better in an acidic environment. Fresh vegetables (undercooked), legumes, grain and fiber breads reduce the acidity of our body. In general, organic nutrition, avoiding processed and packaged foods, Avoiding chips, cola drinks, artificial or real sugars is necessary not only for our teeth and gum health but also to avoid other diseases.
