Last week we explained how bad teeth can affect your mental health. Find out today what you can do to keep your mental and dental health under control.

Try to eat foods that are high in calcium and phosphorus. These include milk and cheese, or foods rich in these nutrients such as broccoli, spinach and oranges. All of these foods can help build strong bones and teeth and promote healthy oral flora.
