Eat These Foods for a Better Smile!

Most people believe if they brush and floss everyday they will maintain good oral hygiene but there is much more to consider. The food that you consume can greatly affect your oral health and should be carefully considered. Continue reading to learn about a few food that can help strengthen your teeth and give you a healthier, cleaner smile.

Sugar-Free Gum

Gum seems to be an item whose effect on your oral health is being constantly debated but the fact is that if it’s sugar-free, gum can have a positive impact on your oral health. Chewing gum stimulates your saliva glands and helps break up plaque from leftover food. The combination of these effects has been proven to be great for your smile.

Raw Vegetables

The act of chewing crunchy raw vegetables such as celery, carrots, green beans, and cauliflower helps your mouth fight plaque. The action also cleans your gums, keeping them moist and happy.

Calcium-Rich Foods

Yogurt, cheese, milk, almonds, and seafood have high levels of calcium and have been proven to positively impact your oral health. The calcium found in these foods will strengthen your enamel, making your teeth more resistant to harm.

Vitamins C & D

Vitamin C reduces inflammation in your gums and strengthens blood vessels. You can find Vitamin C in bell peppers, broccoli and kale. Vitamin D-rich foods include fish and egg yolks and help your body and teeth absorb Vitamin C.

Garlic

Though many people steer away from garlic for its lasting effects on the breath, it has been shown to be beneficial to your mouth. With its strong antimicrobial properties, it helps your mouth to fight tooth decay and periodontal disease.
