The choice of foods we eat is linked to the overall health of our teeth and gums. Good nutrition is key for good oral health, which in turn affects good health overall.

Key takeaways:

- Water is the best drink choice as it does not contain sugar and helps wash away trapped food particles.
- Snacking on sugary snacks (including dried fruit) feeds the germs which cause cavities.
- Dairy products contain calcium, and along with vegetables and whole grains are good for the teeth.
- You may think items such as orange juice would be recommended by your dentist, but in fact they are high in natural sugar.
"Constant snacking and drinking throughout the day, even on healthy foods and drinks, will greatly increase your risk of cavities."
