Fresh fruit is a great option for healthier teeth since, like veggies, its fibrous nature stimulates saliva production. Pears in particular have been found to have a larger acid neutralizing effect on tooth surface than other kinds of fresh fruit, including mandarins, pineapples, and bananas.
Just be sure to skip the dried fruit when it comes to teeth- their sticky and sugary nature make them tooth enamel killers.
Good news! Michigan's season for pears is August-October, go ahead and stock up!
