You probably already are aware that consistently brushing and flossing your teeth twice daily is a great way to prevent<\/a> dental problems like tooth decay and gum disease, but did you know that the foods you consume matter, too? If you\u2019re a fan of following the most recent fads, then you might be tempted to try changing your menu and habits to improve your body. However, some popular food trends might be good for your waistline but won\u2019t do your mouth any favors. Keep reading to learn about 3 diets that could hurt your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Diet Trend #1: Juice Cleanses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been feeling bloated, lethargic, or overweight then you may have heard about a juice cleanse that promises to eliminate toxins from your body and help you lose weight. They typically involve drinking only certain fruit or vegetable juices for a designated period to help reset and boost your digestive system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it\u2019s possible to drop a few pounds this way, you might notice some other less-than-ideal results, too. Many of the juices used for this purpose are highly acidic which can erode the protective enamel of your teeth. Not only that, but they also contain plenty of natural and artificial sugars that attract harmful bacteria that cause cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diet Trend #2: Veganism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While there are many essential nutrients found in seeds, fruits, and vegetables, you may miss out on other vital components that are needed to keep your body functioning at its peak. Animal meat and products contain vitamins B12 and D3, Omega-3 fats, iron, and collagen. All of these are needed to grow healthy bones, boost your enamel, and support the connective tissue in your gums. If you choose to go vegan, be sure to take supplements so that you don\u2019t miss out on these kinds of key ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diet Trend #3: Small, Frequent Meals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some celebrities have reported that they maintain their figures by enjoying 6 to 8 smaller meals throughout the day rather than 3 larger ones. The idea is that by munching more often, you keep your metabolism functioning at higher levels so that it burns more fat. It could help you lose weight, but it might come at the cost of a happy grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unhealthy germs are attracted to the foods you eat, especially if any small bits are left behind. When you eat more frequently, you increase the likelihood that they\u2019ll stick around and thrive. Plus, you expose your pearly whites to more sugars, acids, and other ingredients that contribute to tooth decay and gum disease. Fortunately, brushing and flossing your teeth 30 minutes before eating or drinking can avoid plaque buildup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you are more than welcome to try as many fads as you like, bear in mind that your smile might be impacted. Keeping up with your daily dental hygiene routine is a great way to ensure that it stays intact no matter what!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
