Sin embargo, tal y como explicamos en nuestro art\u00edculo sobre <strong data-start=\"826\" data-end=\"855\">higiene bucodental diaria<\/strong>, la prevenci\u00f3n va mucho m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del cepillo. <strong data-start=\"902\" data-end=\"969\">La alimentaci\u00f3n influye directamente en el estado de las enc\u00edas<\/strong>, en su capacidad de regenerarse y en c\u00f3mo responden frente a las bacterias.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1047\" data-end=\"1219\">Por eso, una dieta adecuada es un complemento clave para prevenir problemas como la <strong data-start=\"1131\" data-end=\"1145\"><a href=\"https:\/\/clinicadentaloris.com\/en\/gingivitis-inflamed-gums-symptoms-causes-and-treatments\/\">gingivitis<\/a><\/strong> y la <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicadentaloris.com\/cuando-la-gingivitis-se-convierte-en-periodontitis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong data-start=\"1151\" data-end=\"1168\">periodontitis<\/strong><\/a>, dos de las patolog\u00edas m\u00e1s frecuentes en consulta.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1224\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1226\" data-end=\"1279\">1. Foods with anti-inflammatory effect (omega 3)<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1281\" data-end=\"1544\">Los alimentos ricos en omega 3 ayudan a <strong data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1361\">reducir la inflamaci\u00f3n de las enc\u00edas<\/strong>, uno de los primeros signos de alerta cuando aparece la gingivitis. Long-term inflammation encourages bleeding, sensitivity and plaque build-up.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1546\" data-end=\"1766\">Este punto encaja directamente con lo que ya explicamos en nuestro post sobre <strong data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1663\">s\u00edntomas iniciales de la <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicadentaloris.com\/gingivitis-o-encias-inflamadas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gingivitis<\/a><\/strong>, donde insistimos en que detectar la inflamaci\u00f3n a tiempo es clave para evitar que el problema avance.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1768\" data-end=\"1771\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1773\" data-end=\"1808\">2. Foods rich in vitamin C<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1810\" data-end=\"2015\">La vitamina C es esencial para la <strong data-start=\"1844\" data-end=\"1869\">formaci\u00f3n de col\u00e1geno<\/strong>, el tejido que mantiene la enc\u00eda firme y bien adherida al diente. When it is lacking, gums become more fragile and bleed more easily.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2017\" data-end=\"2238\">Si notas sangrado al cepillarte, este tipo de alimentos refuerzan lo que comentamos en el art\u00edculo sobre <strong data-start=\"2122\" data-end=\"2173\">por qu\u00e9 sangran las enc\u00edas y cu\u00e1ndo preocuparse<\/strong>, donde explicamos que no es algo \u201cnormal\u201d ni que deba ignorarse.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2240\" data-end=\"2243\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"2245\" data-end=\"2287\">3. Foods with vitamin D and minerals<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2289\" data-end=\"2483\">Vitamin D allows proper absorption of calcium and phosphorus, essential for the health of the bone that supports teeth and gums. A deficiency can accelerate the loss of dental support.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2485\" data-end=\"2718\">Este aspecto se relaciona directamente con nuestro contenido sobre <strong data-start=\"2552\" data-end=\"2584\">periodontitis y p\u00e9rdida \u00f3sea<\/strong>, donde explicamos por qu\u00e9 esta enfermedad no afecta solo a la enc\u00eda, sino tambi\u00e9n a la estructura que mantiene el diente en su sitio.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2720\" data-end=\"2723\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"2725\" data-end=\"2754\">4. Antioxidant foods<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2756\" data-end=\"2973\">Los antioxidantes ayudan a <strong data-start=\"2783\" data-end=\"2845\">reducir el da\u00f1o celular provocado por las bacterias orales<\/strong> y a controlar la inflamaci\u00f3n cr\u00f3nica de las enc\u00edas. They are a natural boost for patients prone to plaque and tartar.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2975\" data-end=\"3179\">Este enfoque complementa lo que ya desarrollamos en nuestra gu\u00eda sobre <strong data-start=\"3046\" data-end=\"3067\">prevenci\u00f3n dental<\/strong>, donde insistimos en que la salud bucal se construye con peque\u00f1os h\u00e1bitos diarios, no con soluciones puntuales.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"3181\" data-end=\"3184\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"3186\" data-end=\"3213\">5. Probiotic foods<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3215\" data-end=\"3446\">Los alimentos probi\u00f3ticos favorecen un <strong data-start=\"3254\" data-end=\"3301\">equilibrio saludable de la flora bacteriana<\/strong>, tambi\u00e9n en la boca. Maintaining that balance makes it harder for the pathogenic bacteria responsible for gingivitis and periodontitis to take over.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3448\" data-end=\"3609\">Son especialmente recomendables en fases de mantenimiento, como explicamos en nuestro art\u00edculo sobre <strong data-start=\"3549\" data-end=\"3608\"><a href=\"https:\/\/clinicadentaloris.com\/limpieza-dental-todo-lo-que-necesitas-saber\/\">limpieza dental<\/a> profesional y mantenimiento periodontal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"3611\" data-end=\"3614\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"3616\" data-end=\"3687\">Alimentaci\u00f3n, higiene y control profesional: la combinaci\u00f3n correcta<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3689\" data-end=\"3810\">Incluir estos cinco tipos de alimentos en tu dieta diaria ayuda a reforzar la salud de las enc\u00edas, pero <strong data-start=\"3793\" data-end=\"3809\">no sustituye<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3811\" data-end=\"3908\">\n<li data-start=\"3811\" data-end=\"3846\">\n<p data-start=\"3813\" data-end=\"3846\">proper oral hygiene<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3847\" data-end=\"3878\">\n<p data-start=\"3849\" data-end=\"3878\">professional cleanings<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3879\" data-end=\"3908\">\n<p data-start=\"3881\" data-end=\"3908\">regular check-ups<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3910\" data-end=\"4147\">The best prevention is always combined, as we explain throughout the blog.

Gums always give warning signs before the problem becomes serious.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11883,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[178],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-comprehensive-oral-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicadentaloris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicadentaloris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicadentaloris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicadentaloris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicadentaloris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/clinicadentaloris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicadentaloris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicadentaloris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicadentaloris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicadentaloris.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
