5 Foods Your Dentist Approves Of

• When it comes to eating healthy, we hear a lot
  about which foods are low in fat, and
  (subsequently) best for losing weight. Of course,
  the food we eat also has a huge toll on our teeth
  and overall oral health.

• Unfortunately, a vast number of foods in our
  supermarkets are loaded with sugars and processed
  junk that can affect our oral health.

• If youre starting to realize the value of good
  dental health and hygiene, eating a well-balanced
  diet that prevents tooth decay is an excellent
  place to start. In todays blog, well take a
  look at five foods your dentist will approve of.
  Lets get started!

1. Plain Yogurt

• After a study on the effect of yogurts
  probiotics on a persons gums and teeth, it was
  found that individuals who ate the most yogurt
  also had the healthiest gums. Because of the
  probiotics in yogurt, bacteria tends to grow
  slower in the mouth, which helps to prevent
  cavities.

2. Apples

• An apple a day can do more than just deter
  doctors, it can give you fewer reasons to visit
  the dentist as well. Apples act as natural breath
  fresheners, and the fibers in the skin and flesh
  of apples actually works to scrub the tongue and
  gums free of plaque.

• If you want apples that will truly protect
  against cavities, Granny Smith Apples have been
  known to help get rid of excess plaque and remove
  stains from teeth.

3. Broccoli

• Although broccoli is rich in vitamin C, E, B2,
  and calcium, it is the iron found in broccoli
  that actually creates a wall between acidic
  compounds that are the primary cause of cavities.
  For the best results, eat broccoli raw in a
  salad, or steam it lightly to prevent the
  vitamins and minerals from being lost during the
  cooking process.

  too acidic to be beneficial to dental health,
  theyre actually one of the few citrus fruits
  that can actually help to prevent cavities.

• As the only fruit containing Bromelain, a highly
  beneficial enzyme that can actually reduce
  inflammation and help to heal the mouth and can
  act as a natural stain remover. Finally, the
  vitamins K and C that pineapple is also rich in
  can also promote oral healing.

5. Cheese

• Teeth are full of compounds that can promote oral
  health, the most well-known of which is calcium.
  After the release of a 2014 dental study proving
  that cheese can help replenish tooth enamel and
  protect teeth from acidity, it has been widely
  accepted that eating cheese is an avenue of
  improving your dental health.

  neutralize any acids consumed during your meal.
