We all know the basics of good oral care: brush in the morning and
evening, floss each day and visit the dentist twice per year. But there
are smaller, incremental steps we can take to guarantee good health,
including the food we eat each day. Here are some fruits for healthy
teeth.
Strawberries
They contain malic acid, which
helps remove surface stains on teeth. Take a strawberry, mash it up, add
some baking soda and apply it to your teeth. Gently brush off after
five minutes for clean and bright teeth.
Oranges
This may come as a surprise to you, but citrus
fruits like oranges help keep your gums healthy by strengthening blood
vessels and connective tissue, including the connective tissue that
holds your teeth in your jaw. It's the vitamin C in citrus that is so
powerful. Vitamin C also helps reduce inflammation, which may prevent or
slow the progression of gingivitis, so make oranges, grapefruits, and
other citrus regular features in your fruit bowl.
