Decalcification occurs when the teeth lose minerals and strength, mainly because of the consumption of acidic foods and drinks. The problem can also occur because of the overconsumption of sugary foods or poor oral hygiene. Bacteria in your teeth will quickly convert the carbohydrates and sugars to acid. The resulting pH imbalance in the mouth makes the teeth lose calcium, minerals, and phosphates. Eventually, the teeth will have white spots, meaning they are losing calcium. This problem also affects other bones in the body. In this post, we’re going to show you how to deal with this oral issue. Let’s dive right in.

We all want to have straight teeth. The best way to straighten your teeth is by receiving orthodontic treatment from an orthodontist. Unfortunately, many individuals look for a cheaper alternative and try DIY, or do it yourself braces. These types of braces use materials like paper clips and rubber bands to straighten the teeth. There is also a rather new type of braces that involves using teeth aligners. How they work is that an individual receives mail order braces every couple of weeks, and they wear them to straighten their teeth at home. While mail order braces may seem better than making braces yourself, there are quite a few reasons why you should never them or any other type do it yourself braces.

As parents, we have a natural tendency to want the very best for our children, especially when it comes to their oral health. While most dental problems can be resolved by a dentist, more complicated problems like crooked or misaligned teeth, for example, will require that you schedule an appointment with a pediatric orthodontist. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, the ideal age to schedule your child’s first orthodontic visit is seven years old.

Why are my children’s teeth sensitive? It is not uncommon for children who have braces to experience sensitivity issues. The metal brackets and wiring can cause teeth to become overly sensitive over time. Dealing with this sensitivity and ensuring that it is kept at bay can help to improve the overall oral health of your child and how they feel. You will notice that they are less likely to complain about how their teeth feel when you take steps to ensure that they are using products that will help and work with what they need.

12 large dry sea scallops, (about 1 pound; see Note)
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 1/4 ounces very thinly sliced prosciutto, (about 3 slices), cut into 12 long strips
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
12 ounces baby spinach
PREPARATION
Place rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Pat scallops dry and sprinkle both sides with lemon pepper. Wrap 1 piece of prosciutto around each scallop. Thread 3 scallops crosswise onto each skewer (securing the prosciutto to the scallop) and place on the prepared baking sheet. Broil until just cooked through, about 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon vinaigrette in a small bowl.
Place spinach in a colander and rinse under cold water. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add handfuls of spinach (with water still clinging to it) to the pan and cook, stirring, until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the spinach and add to the medium bowl; toss to coat with the vinaigrette. Divide the spinach among 4 plates and top each portion with 3 scallops. Drizzle the scallops with the reserved vinaigrette.
Recipe from Eating Well
Good Diet Good Teeth
Teeth are no different from the rest of your body in that they benefit from a nutritious diet. However, there are certain foods that are particularly good for teeth, and you can make a point of including meals in your family’s rotation that lead to healthier teeth and gums. Good nutrition is an excellent complement to invisalign braces and other treatments by your orthodontist that will contribute to a lifetime of strong teeth.
Even people who think about the connection between dental health and overall health may not realize that celiac disease can cause defects to dental enamel. These defects are not reversible, but a gluten-free diet can help prevent those defects. The key in making healthy meals is to cook something that is appealing to the taste buds as well. Gluten-free proscuitto-wrapped scallops with spinach is a delicious dish that is packed with nutrition for the teeth. Scallops strengthen the enamel on teeth because they have a lot of phosphorus. The vitamin B12 they contain is good for the gums. Spinach is one of the best things you can eat for your teeth. The calcium builds enamel, and they have plenty of B vitamins that also promote dental health. The protein in prosciutto is important in the structure of teeth.
Another advantage of this dish is that it is not damaging to teeth. While people might think of too much candy as being bad for dental health, they may not realize that there are other foods that can be harmful well. For example, people might be surprised to learn that crackers are not great for teeth because they convert to sugar. They also have a tendency to get lodged in the teeth. In addition to healthy meals, a trip to the orthodontist is a good way to ensure healthy smiles. Call King Orthodontics today to discuss invisalign braces and other products and services.
