Dental Health and Medical Care

We will be practicing or competing, many sportsmen Suppied yourself with a snack bar that can be eaten anytime, especially the athletes sport that much exertion, call it a runner, climber or cyclist.

This snack bar was asked by athletes as an energy supplement food with high protein content and rich in fiber, are generally enriched with a variety of nuts, chocolate, raisins, honey, and various other nutritious ingredients. Not just athletes, food is also much relied upon by professionals who are busy and often skip lunch. The label “healthy” snack bar has been stuck on this, so that consumers feel safe when eating it and escape from guilt. Many do not think that behind these benefits, it turns out storing food for dental health hazards as well as candy bars or candy.

Although claimed by the manufacturer as a low-sugar foods, consistency is what makes this dish great potential as kariogenik (food cause caries). This high-protein snack bars tend sticky, sticky foods that stay longer in the mouth and the more likely for bacteria to turn it into acids that damage tooth enamel. Especially combined with sports drinks or carbonated drinks are high sugar content.

Then, if this healthy habit must be stopped? The answer is back on habits and awareness of each in maintaining oral hygiene. Not a snack bar that becomes a problem, but the rest of the sticky snack bar and stuck to the teeth. Most athletes consume a snack bar while on break, on a bicycle, or when it is running. Of course not possible to brush your teeth at times, but there are steps you can take to tactics. Drinking a lot of water after spending one or two packs a protein bar that’s delicious. May also interspersed with movements like gargling. All food sticks stuck to the teeth and then did not clean thoroughly, but at least the white water can help saliva (drool) to rinse. Alternatively, successfully brought the sugar free gum as a stock. This action of chewing gum can stimulate saliva flow and increase the pH (acidity level) in the oral cavity thus becomes a base that is not conducive to bacterial growth. One more thing, take it as well as dental floss in a sports bag that can be used to clean between the teeth after they finish exercising. No problem a little trouble than sorry later on (by: drg.
