There always seems to be a new fad diet out there. Whether you are wanting to drop a few pounds or just be healthier overall, some of them can be quite effective. However, not all diets have the best effect on your oral health. Because of this, it is always important that you do your research before trying one out. Read on to learn about a few fad diets in particular that you should be especially careful of for the sake of your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Multiple Smaller Meals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The majority of us typically have two or three meals a day, but this fad diet involves consuming six to eight meals each day in smaller quantities. This can help people to eat less fat, healthier carbs, and more fruits and vegetables.

Your enamel is especially vulnerable for up to an hour after you eat something, so the more frequently you eat, the more likely you are to develop dental problems, like tooth decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this doesn\u2019t mean that your body is completely free from harm. Fruits contain natural sugars that can cause tooth decay if you aren\u2019t careful. Seeds and nuts can become stuck between the teeth and contribute to bacterial growth. Ultimately, you should choose plenty of foods that benefit your smile, like apples, carrots, and celery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juice Cleanses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This diet seems to make a lot of sense. Fruits and vegetables are good for you, so their juices are too, right? The problem is that if you are only drinking the juice, you are missing out on a lot of the fiber and nutrients that your body needs to keep your skin, hair, and nails in good health. You can even end up with the following dental issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
