Foods That Aid Dental Health

If you want stronger, healthier teeth, make sure
your diet includes these foods

Milk and cheese Dairy foods provide calcium
in your diet, which helps to form new bone cells
in the body.
8
Include some milk and cheese every day to ensure
that you get enough of this tooth-strengthening
mineral.
9
Crunchy fruits Apples and pears produce
nutrients with a bit of satisfying crunch.
10
These fruits have a high water content, which
helps to dilute the sugar that they also contain.
11
Raw carrots and celery These vegetables are
not just healthy snacks for weight management
12
They are also rich in nutrients and also increase
the amount of saliva in the mouth, which helps to
clean off teeth.
13
Nuts and seeds These foods are high in
nutrients and are good for overall health.
14
In addition, cashews have strong antimicrobial
properties, which can help to prevent the
bacteria that cause cavities in teeth.
15
Raw onion Go ahead and enjoy that raw onion
on your burger.
16
Onions have been found to be a powerful
anti-bacterial, which can help to prevent
cavities from developing on your teeth.
17
Foods To Avoid
18
Coffee Cosmetic dentists often tell their
patients to limit the amount of coffee they
consume to avoid the inevitable staining that
occurs.
19
If you cant do without your morning cup, brush
well after drinking it or rinse with clear water.
20
Citrus fruits Grapefruit juice, orange juice
and lemon juice are all highly acidic and can
damage tooth enamel.

Although the vitamin C these fruits provide are
important, you should take measures to minimize
the damaging effects of the acid they contain.

Ensure that you brush after eating citrus fruits
or drinking citrus juices.

If you cannot conveniently brush, rinse your
mouth well with plain water to reduce the effect
of the acids.

Sticky candy Family dentists have
traditionally warned patients to avoid candy, but
some types of candy can be especially damaging.

Sticky candy like caramels, taffy or Jujyfruit

dining can have a detrimental effect on tooth
enamel.

vulnerable to staining from other foods.

must indulge, follow up the wine with a thorough
water rinsing.

teeth that can damage tooth enamel.

matters for everyone.
