Eat grapes to keep your teeth healthy
Posted on: 12/Jun/2017 4:21:15 PM
According to a recent study, eating grapes can maintain your teeth healthy and safeguard it from getting decayed. Grapes contain a natural compound that can strengthen teeth and enhance fillings in it.
The scientists from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry claim that people may henceforth not lose teeth because the grape seed extract (which is a by-product of making wine is available for sale at health food shops) is said to have a lot of benefits like enhancing heart function and blood circulation.
This substance present in grapes will increase the longevity of composite resin fillings or the tooth colored fillings. So, tooth extractions get reduced. These extracts can toughen dentin which is a tissue that builds the bulk of the tooth. This is seen behind the external enamel. So, when the teeth is subject to any damage, we can make the remaining portion stronger to bond it with other materials of these fillings.
Patients who choose to go with resin fillings can thus be benefitted, as these fillings are aesthetically pleasing, in spite of not being tough amalgam fillings that come with validity of 10 to 15 years.
When does tooth decay take place? It happens when acid gets produced from plaque. This will eventually build up on the teeth. When this gets built up, acid breakdown takes place on the tooth’s surface which will then result in holes called cavities. The cavity will then eat away the next level of tooth material falling behind the enamel. There is better adhesion achieved by interlocking resin and collagen rich dentin.
