There are many lifestyle factors that have an impact on dental health. Many people know that eating sugar can cause decay, that drinking red wine can stain your teeth, and that crunching on ice may weaken the enamel. But did you know that good nutrition, a full night's sleep, low mental stress, exercise, and refraining from tobacco use are great for dental health, too? The health of the mouth has been linked to the health of the body as a whole. If you make lifestyle decisions to take care of your smile, you are helping to take care of yourself as well.
