If you want a healthy mouth, taking a look at what you eat is a good place to start. Foods such as hard candies, sticky caramels and acidic citrus fruits can wreak havoc on your teeth.
On the flip side, dairy products such as hard cheeses help keep your teeth healthy as the calcium can strengthen your enamel.
Raw leafy greens may also benefit your oral health as they require a lot of chewing and stimulate saliva production. The small pieces of greens “brush” your teeth as you’re chewing.
Strawberries are another good bet as they can help whiten enamel thanks to a substance called malic acid, which could help reduce or remove stains on your teeth. Drinking plenty of water is a great way to wash sugar and acid off your teeth.
Visiting us for regular checkups is another important action you can take to enjoy a gleaming smile!
