### Why does diet affect your oral health?
Good dental hygiene isn't just about blow-drying. Food plays a critical role in the prevention of cavities, periodontal disease, and even bad breath.

### 3 simple reflexes to adopt:
#### 🥦 1. Choose foods rich in fiber
Green vegetables, apples, raw carrots stimulate salivation, which naturally cleanses the mouth.
#### 🧀 2. Limit refined sugars
Sodas, candies and pastries promote the proliferation of acid bacteria responsible for demineralization.
#### 💧 3. Drink Water After Every Meal
Rinsing your mouth with water removes some of the food residues and restores a neutral pH.
