It's reasonable and certainly
undeniable: the pandemic affected your diet. For some, it meant turning away
their favorite junk food and nourishing their body to improve their immune
system. For others, however, it meant exploring all the sweets and delicacies
they can have delivered to their home. It won't be surprising at all if you
equipped your kitchen with the latest appliances and you now run it like a
gourmet chef. Food is a quick remedy to managing the many stress triggers you
encounter daily since the outbreak. The problem is that you may be
unconsciously topping all your problems off with a dental emergency that you
can neither afford to have nor want to experience.
The solution? Be mindful of food choices that are detrimental to your dental health. You don't have to change your diet all at once. If you're already eating healthy, you will still want to know if you've fallen for the pitfalls that result in gum disease, teeth stains, and other oral issues. As they say, prevention is better than intervention.
