I am nuts for a beautiful smile!
It is Xmas time, and a lot of fantastic food is around which attracts you sens.However, there are some kinds of food you have to avoid when you have Braces.Foods to completely avoid with braces include:nutspopcornicechewing gumhard candychewy candypizza crustbagels and other hard rollscrunchy vegetables and fruitshard crackerspretzelschipsLimit the consumption of sugary foods and drinks while having braces. When sugar mixes with saliva, it creates a sticky film (plaque) that coats the teeth.Brushing can remove plaque, but that becomes harder to do with braces. And if you're unable to remove this sticky film, there's a risk of tooth decay.Be mindful that braces are sensitive to damage, so you'll need to avoid certain foods for as long as you have braces.These include sticky and hard foods that can damage the wires or bands, or cause a bracket to separate from a tooth.What can we do to make you smile?Call Candice and make an appointment today 09 448 1128.....#nuts #culinaria #food #vegan #powerfoods #sweeds #desert #fruits #fizzy #smile #xmas #bachmannsmile #nuts #bachmannorthodontics #foodie #nut #nutrition #culinarychefsportal #cooking #eating #healthylifestyle #healthyfoods
