With fall approaching and our tans fading, we want to maintain a whiter smile through the long winter season. We all strive for that perfect white smile, and it can be easier to achieve by maintaining a diet with foods that keep our teeth healthy and bright.
Fruits such as strawberries, despite the red color, are a great source of malic acid that can help remove some of the surface tooth discoloration, leading to a brighter white smile. Strawberries are a great breakfast snack, they can be added to cereal, salads, even desserts. By simply adding strawberries to your diet, you are improving the overall whiteness of your teeth.
Onions, though harsh on breath, naturally improve the whiteness of your teeth. Their strong sulfur compounds stop plaque from sticking and reduce harmful buildup on teeth. The strong scent often encourages you to brush your teeth more frequently. Onions taste great in many meals and cook well in almost any dish.
Cheese, milk, and yogurt provide calcium, which strengthens teeth and supports healthy gums. Casein, a milk protein in cheese and yogurt, reduces mineral loss from tooth enamel.
Water is the best drink for your overall health and your smile. It reduces stains, keeps teeth hydrated, and helps maintain a bright, healthy smile. Avoid dark, fizzy drinks because they stick to teeth and cause stains and erosion.
Add fruits, vegetables, water, and dairy to your diet to strengthen teeth and body. These foods protect teeth by fighting erosion, preventing stains, and supporting overall oral health.
