Hi. We are Prestige Dentistry, a general and cosmetic dental office here in Palm Harbor. It is our goal to help our patients have optimum oral health, and today We would like to talk about something else associated with our mouths that doesn’t get as much attention as cavities or cosmetic dentistry. It’s our sense of taste.
A happy mouth is not only a healthy mouth, but also a mouth that can enjoy the flavors of all types of foods. And it turns out that many of the habits that will keep your taste buds sensitive are those that will also be good for your teeth and gums. So here are a few tips to help you better enjoy the flavor of your food.
1) Treat dry mouth. Dry mouth can create a loss of taste sensitivity, so it should be treated quickly by your East Lake, Trinity, or Palm Harbor dentist. Plus, optimal levels of saliva are important to avoid cavities and keep gums healthy.
2) Avoid processed foods with fake flavors and too much sugar and salt. They will quickly desensitize you to more subtle, healthy flavors.
3) Don’t smoke! Cigarettes are responsible for so many horrible health issues, but many people don’t realize that their sense of taste is dulled while they smoke and the olfactory nerves can even be damaged permanently.
Thank you so much for visiting the Palm Harbor dentist blog. Along with dental health and a keen sense of taste, I want my patients to have the beautiful smile they have always desired. So, if you have any questions regarding cosmetic dentistry such as smile makeovers, dental implants, or teeth whitening, please contact us. We are located at 4140 Woodlands Pkwy, Ste A and you can reach us for an appointment at 727-789-1980.
