Just got back from the dentist (ugh), and she mentioned cheese is actually good for teeth...who knew? Got me thinking, are you guys careful bout what you eat for your teeth or just wing it? Quick poll:
A) I eat whatever, life's short
B) I try to avoid sugary stuff
C) I'm basically a dental saint
"Just got back from the dentist (ugh), and she mentioned cheese is actually good for teeth...who knew?"
Haha, my dentist always brings up cheese too—something about calcium and neutralizing acids. Honestly, I lean towards option B. Used to be an A-type eater myself, but after a few uncomfortable fillings, I learned my lesson. I'm not exactly a dental saint though...coffee and wine are non-negotiable. Moderation seems to be the sweet spot (pun intended).
My dentist mentioned cheese too, but have you seen the price of good cheese lately? 😂 Does cottage cheese count, or am I stuck with cheddar? Coffee's staying in my budget either way... priorities, right?
I've wondered about cottage cheese too—it's technically cheese, right? But the texture and acidity seem pretty different from harder cheeses like cheddar or gouda. My dentist mentioned something about how harder cheeses increase saliva flow and help neutralize acids after eating, which protects enamel. Cottage cheese is softer and more acidic... would that mean it's less helpful?
And since you mentioned coffee—I'm curious if your dentist warned you about coffee stains or acidity? Mine always gently hints at cutting back, but honestly, that's just not happening anytime soon. Priorities indeed... haha. Maybe pairing coffee with a small piece of cheddar balances things out a bit? I'm not sure if that's wishful thinking or legit dental advice.
