Food that cleans and protects your teeth

1. Green tea

2. Milk and yogurt

Unsweetened yogurt and milk are good choices for your teeth. They have little acidity, which means that they don’t cause consecutive tooth wear and chemical erosion. Milk is also a good source of calcium which is the main component of teeth and bones.

3. Cheese

Low carb levels and high concentration of calcium and phosphates make cheese beneficial food choice for your teeth as well. These elements ensure balanced acidity in your mouth, enamel remineralization, provoke more salivation and fight cariogenic bacteria.

4. Fruits

5. Veggies

Pumpkin, carrots, sweet potato, broccoli are full of vitamin A. This vitamin is essential for dental enamel formation. Besides that, crunchy veggies clean and massage your gums!

6. Garlic

7. Celery

Celery components protect our teeth and more than that, chewing celery stimulates lots of saliva, which neutralizes different bacteria that cause decay. It gives you gums a gentle massage and cleanses the interdental spaces.

8. Sesame seed

Healthy teeth could be a result of combining bread and sesame. Due to its roughness, it cleans the dental plaque, and it also helps you build healthy enamel. Sesame seeds are rich in calcium which protect your teeth, bones, and gums.

9. Nonvegetarian diet

Beef, poultry, turkey meat and eggs contain phosphorus. This element is crucial because calcium, just by itself isn’t enough. But combined with phosphorus and vitamin D it builds healthy bones. These elements make your teeth stronger and healthier.

10. Water

Water helps your salvation so that it can make miracles by sending minerals back to your weak teeth. When you drink water, your gums are healthier and helps you wash out small food particles that are decomposing in your mouth and causing bad breath, decay, and gum infection.
