It's easy to take our dental health for granted until there is a problem and then it can be a nightmare even getting an appointment. But most people have some level of gum disease, and even if it doesn't hurt, it may lead to worse problems further down the line.
The only reason we have tooth decay is because of sugar. It is striking, says Roberts, that when we look at teeth in prehistoric skulls, there is hardly any sign of decay... As soon as we started introducing refined sugars into the diet, decay exploded.
If you are going to have sugar, make sure you are brushing your teeth really well... In this day and age, everybody should have an electric toothbrush. It doesn't have to be a top-of-the-range one, just rechargeable, as they work better, and ideally with a pressure sensor.
Limit eating and drinking sweet things to no more than four times a day: breakfast, lunch, dinner and one snack... If you have to have chocolate, make sure it is at those times, rather than constantly grazing throughout the day.
