Avoid foods with high concentration of sugar such as ice cream, halwa, gulab jamun and other sweets.
Eat more nutritious foods with less sugar such as milk, rice, meat, fruits and fish etc.
Most of the refreshing drinks and aerated drinks have a high concentration of sugar, and hence should be restricted.
It is advisable to eat sweet dishes along with the rest of the meal instead of taking them in between meals. This is because during meals saliva production is increased, and this helps in neutralizing the acid that may damage the teeth.
Soft and sticky foods should be avoided because they attach and get between the teeth providing a favorable place for bacteria to grow.
Besides low sugar foods, low fat choices like raw vegetables, fresh fruits, or whole grain breads are also good choices. Eating the right foods can help prevent tooth decay and other diseases.
