Nutrition and oral health

Our ancestors still had to work hard for their daily portion of plants and nuts. And then needed their teeth to process this fiber-rich, low-calorie food. We just go to the supermarket for us (often processed and sugar rich) food. We eat more often than our ancestors and many more sweet and sour products. As a result, the risk of tanturia and caries increased in addition to the risk of overweight and welfare diseases. All reason therefore to be aware of your eating patterns and eating habits.
