Nutritional Counselling in Brighton | Hove | UK

The acids in plaque damage the enamel covering your teeth. It also creates holes in the tooth called cavities. Cavities usually do not hurt, unless they grow very large and affect nerves or cause a tooth fracture. An untreated cavity can lead to an infection in the tooth called a tooth abscess. Untreated tooth decay also destroys the inside of the tooth (pulp). This requires more extensive treatment, or possibly removal of the tooth.

​Carbohydrates (sugars and starches) increase the risk of tooth decay. Sticky foods are more harmful than non-sticky foods because they remain on the teeth. Frequent snacking increases the time that acids are in contact with the surface of the tooth.

I am offering a Naturopathic Dental Assessment that through diet and life style counselling, supports patients to be proactive with their nutrition and make changes to stop, reverse and prevent gum disease and tooth decay in the future. It’s also discussed the toxic load concept and what can be done to decrease it as it will impact mouth and the overall body.

There is enough evidence that much diseases begins in the gut. What you swallow, breathe and absorb through your skin can affect the gut. How you sleep, exercise and deal with stress can also affect your gut. Ultimately, an unhealthy gut puts the entire body at risk.

Its in your hands to make healthy adjustments and regain your health.
