The best food is food that you grow or raise yourself. Mix different kinds of food together and eat several times a day. This helps your body as well as your teeth and gums to stay strong and healthy.''' Traditional food is usually good food.''' 

Sweet food, especially the kind you buy from the store, can mix with germs and make cavities &mdash; holes in the teeth. Soft food sticks to the teeth easily and it, too, can make a coating of germs and food on the teeth that starts an infection in the gums &mdash; gum disease.
