Getting clean and strong teeth is not just about going to the dentist every six months. You can promote a healthy mouth every day with the foods you choose to eat. Check out these five foods that you should really sink your teeth into.
Fresh Fruits
Fresh fruits aren't just good for your waistline, they are good for your teeth. Fruits like apples and pears increase saliva production, which cleans the mouth and helps prevent and clear up stains on your teeth. Additionally, pears have a neutralizing effect on acid on your tooth surface, effectively guarding against the decay and damage from extended exposure to acidic foods.
Sesame Oil
Sesame seeds are an excellent addition to your diet because they reduce plaque buildup and work to remineralize tooth enamel.
Cheese
Cheese, like other dairy products, is low in sugar and acid and has a high calcium content, which is great for building strong teeth. Moreover, it contains the protein casein, also found in milk, which fortifies tooth enamel on the surface of your teeth. This guards against tooth decay - like cavities - and promotes a healthy mouth overall. Look for raw milk cheeses, especially from grass-fed livestock, as these are the least processed and highest in nutritional value.
Celery
Fresh vegetables are some of the best foods to eat. Celery, in particular, which is high in fiber and often crunchy to the bite, is a natural teeth cleaner that promotes saliva production which further protects and cleans teeth. Moreover, because it is mostly water, it doesn't contain harmful acids or sugars that cause wear and decay to your teeth over time. And water is an excellent way to rinse your mouth out of food and lingering bacteria.
Salmon
Salmon, and other fatty fish like Atlantic mackerel, are high in vitamin D, which helps your body absorb and use calcium. Calcium is vital for the growth and maintenance of strong and healthy bones and teeth, protecting your teeth and gums from disease and decay. Be sure to buy wild caught fish when possible as these are higher in essential fatty acids and lower in environmental toxins.
As with your overall health, maintaining a healthy mouth is a daily process and effort. Don't wait to start taking care of your teeth; in addition to your regular dentist appointments and daily brushing and flossing routine, make a point of including these and other healthy foods into your diet. Your teeth will be cleaner, whiter, and healthier because of it.
