OUR TEETH – CARE OF THE TEETH – A NATURAL DIET AND DENTAL HYGIENE (YOUNG PEOPLE)
When I was a young man in my late teens I too had bad teeth as the result of an unnatural diet. I then changed my eating habits and within three years my dentist assured me that my teeth showed definite signs of hardening. At the end of six years, he congratulated me on my change of diet and said that my teeth were in excellent condition, with hard and healthy dentine. Now, in my old age, I still have the same good teeth I had in my youth. So, to safeguard the teeth, all refined foods should be avoided. To start with, white sugar and flour should definitely be left out of your diet. Every school and every dentist’s waiting room should display comical educational posters, acting as constant reminders of the two enemies of strong teeth, white sugar and white flour, and the cartoons on these posters should become as popular as Mickey Mouse. Such vivid warnings would make our schoolchildren constantly aware of the agents responsible for bad teeth. Who knows, maybe they would even contribute to banning the culprits from our tables!
