I know that it's healthy to eat several meals a day, so your body always has energy and all that good stuff. Well, I also know that my dentist wants me to eat less often so the enamel on the teeth isn't worn away. I eat frequently throughout the day, and I was just wondering what your opinions and thoughts are. Like a good amount of meals that I should eat that's good for my teeth and by body. Thanks!

I would suggest enamel-strengthening toothpaste.
On the subject of food, nothing too acidic, and if you must have foods with a lot of acid in them, then eat those in moderation. Calcium would be good too, if you're not lactose-intolerant, try eating more cheeses, drink more milk, etc. Try to eat less crunchy food too, if you're going to eat anything crunchy, make sure it's some chips and not peanut brittle. You just have to be a little more aware of what you're eating. It's not the end of the world, it's the beginning of a new one for you. Welcome to watching what you eat. If you need any more advice or have any more questions, you can leave one in my inbox or email me. Take care, and good luck! ~Love Angel [ Anq3L_xO's advice column | Ask Anq3L_xO A Question ]

Amazing_April answered Monday January 7 2008, 7:17 pm: My dentist told me somthing similar to that. I usually eat 3 meals a day with 2 snacks, and cut down on the sugar and soda I consume. Some people get too hungry so they eat 5 small meals a day. You could try either one. [ Amazing_April's advice column | Ask Amazing_April A Question ]
