#90: The Truth About Your Dental Health and Diet

The Truth About Your Dental Health and Diet


What No One’s Telling You



By Dr. Radwa Saad | Cosmetic Dentist & Host of The Wonder Tooth Podcast and founder of Dent Blanche Dental


You can brush, floss, and rinse all you want—but if your diet isn’t right, your smile may still suffer.


Learn how your everyday diet affects your teeth and gums. Dr. Radwa Saad shares surprising facts, common food mistakes, and top smile-friendly choices.

Many people don’t realize their eating habits are slowly wearing down their enamel, inflaming their gums, and feeding harmful bacteria—all without them even knowing.


Here are the top dietary truths every smile-conscious person should know:


6 “Healthy” Habits That Secretly Harm Your Teeth


1. Lemon Water All Day – Acidic and erosive. Drink it fast, not over hours. Use a straw.

2. Dried Fruits & Trail Mix – Sticky and sugary. Feed cavity-causing bacteria.

3. Smoothies – High in natural sugars and acids. Drink quickly and rinse after.

4. Coffee with Sugar or Milk – Sipping constantly erodes enamel and stains teeth.

5. Keto or High-Protein Diets– Can cause dry mouth and “keto breath.” Stay hydrated.

6. Chewing Ice – Leads to microfractures and sensitivity.


Smile-Boosting Foods to Add


- Cheese & Yogurt – Strengthen enamel with calcium and casein

- Crunchy Veggies – Scrub teeth naturally, stimulate saliva

- Green Tea – Reduces inflammation, fights bacteria

- Strawberries – Natural brighteners, high in vitamin C

- Nuts & Seeds– Good fats and minerals

- Mineral-Rich Water – Supports tooth structure, unlike distilled water


3 Pro Tips for a Smile-Smart Diet


1. Time Your Eating – Avoid all-day grazing. Let saliva restore balance.

2. Wait Before Brushing After Acidic Foods – Rinse first, then brush after 30 mins.

3. Watch for Tongue Clues – Burning, coating, or soreness might be nutrition-related.


Final Thought

Your mouth is a reflection of your diet. Choosing the right foods—and eating them the right way—can strengthen, whiten, and protect your smile long-term.
