5 champion foods for healthy teeth

Eating right ensures a happy mouth. Nom nom on the following six good guys to enjoy sparkling white teeth and healthy gums!

1. Fortifying Dairy Products

Think dairy, think milk, cheese and yoghurt! These are the super-foods in the tooth kingdom! High amounts of calcium, potassium, phosphorous and Vitamin D, and low acidity make dairy products your tooth’s best friend!

2. Sugar free Chewing Gum

This guy helps reduce tooth decay and gum diseases. Sugar-free gum is also a great saliva generator and keeps bad breath at bay. Gums that contain xylitol are easy and effective preventive dental care buddies.

3. High Fiber Food

Consuming a bowl of green veggies (spinach/beans/broccoli/lettuce) is kinda like running your mouth through a car wash! All the munching and chewing helps scrub away stubborn stains while generating a good amount of saliva.  

4. Strawberries

Did you know that crushed strawberry pulp mixed with baking soda applied on your teeth using a soft toothbrush could give you instant white smile? The malic acid in these summer berries is a gift from nature as a natural enamel whitener. (P.S: Don’t forget to floss though; the tiny seeds can easily get lodged between your teeth)

5. Vitamin D rich Food

The sunshine vitamin regulates the absorption of calcium and phosphorous and facilitating normal immune system function.  Dr. Ranjitha of Green Meadow Dental, Newington, CT, strongly recommends salmon, sardines, egg yolk, shrimps for normal growth and development of bones and teeth.
