Nutritional Counseling FAQs

Answer text goes here
How does diet affect cavities?
Bacteria in the mouth feed on sugars and produce acids that erode enamel. Limiting sugary foods and drinks reduces cavity risk significantly.
Do you give meal plans or general guidance?
We focus on practical, personalized guidance based on your lifestyle. This may include suggested foods, substitutions, and hydration strategies.
Can nutritional counseling help gum disease?
Yes. Diets rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and D, and omega-3s can support gum tissue healing and reduce inflammation. Pair this with professional care like Bruxism Treatment if grinding is a contributing factor.
Is this service only for patients with dental problems?
Not at all. Nutritional counseling is preventive and helps anyone interested in maintaining strong, healthy teeth.
Does insurance cover nutritional counseling?
Coverage varies, but our team can help review your plan. We accept PPO insurance and Medi-Cal/Denti-Cal, and financing options are available.
How often should I have nutritional counseling?
Most patients benefit from an initial session and occasional updates if dietary changes or new oral health issues arise.
