There are little, hidden plaque monsters who look to dig their acidic tentacles into the shining, white enamel protectors of your teeth. When these monsters are able to successfully mount forces against your oral health, the little holes they bore are called cavities. Your job, then, is to protect your valuable pearly-whites by taking the necessary steps to keep them safe. To help in the fight, your dentist in State College says you should consider a possible weapon &#8211; cheese. Learn what recent studies have revealed about the amazing benefits of this simple food.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>A Way to Detect the Presence of Harmful Plaque and Bacteria<\/h2>\n<p>One way to detect the presence of plaque in your mouth is to measure the pH level, being mindful that harmful bacteria have acidic qualities. Thus, a pH level lower than 5.5 is a sign of a greater number of bacteria, and the possibility of tooth erosion.<\/p>\n<h2>What Studies Have Shown About Cheese<\/h2>\n<p>Cheese is classified as a dairy product because it is derived from milk, and this group of foods have been proven to make positive impacts on your overall bone health. But, recent studies show that cheese may have an even greater effect than other dairy products. Here\u2019s how the research was conducted.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Test Groups<\/strong> \u2013 Researchers assigned 68 participants aged 12 to 15 to one of four groups: cheese, milk, sugar-free yogurt or paraffin (a colorless, odorless wax).<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Testing Begins <\/strong>\u2013 Each group either chewed or swished around their product for three minutes and then rinsed their mouths thoroughly with water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Results <\/strong>\u2013 Researchers found that upon measuring pH levels in the participants\u2019 mouths, the only group that showed a significant increase were the cheese eaters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These results hold great significance because they show a possible link between cheese consumption and anti-cavity properties. Again, the higher the pH level, the less acidic the mouth is.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does This Effect Dental Care?<\/h2>\n<p>This information shows the possibility of a new ally in the fight for oral health, but it doesn\u2019t dismiss what we already know to be highly effective. Brushing and flossing your teeth two times a day still reign supreme in the hierarchy of oral care. Furthermore, your next line of defense is to maintain six-month visits with your State College dentist to ensure that you\u2019ll have a healthy mouth for years to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Robert Jeanmenne, DDS has been practicing dentistry and dental sleep medicine since 2001.
