Have you heard the saying: An Apple a day keeps the dentist away? Well, it's true! Apples have rough, fiber-rich flesh that make them ideal food for cleaning and brightening teeth. Crunchy fruits and vegetables act like toothbrushes when you chew them. They help scrub away stubborn plaque and bacteria that builds up over time.
Remember, eating healthy doesn't mean you should stop brushing and flossing on a regular basis! Let us know on our Facebook page what healthy snack YOU eat, Linked Here!
Healthy Choice of the
Week: Onions!
Have a toothache? Well, you may wind up with some stinky
breath, but the antibacterial sulfur compounds in onions help to kill the germs
in your mouth! Throw some onions in a green salad and make sure to chew
throughout your entire mouth, touching each tooth for the best results. If
there is one specific tooth bothering you, place a piece of onion up against it
and leave it there to fight those germs!
Healthy Choice of the Week: CHEESE!
Saying cheese for a picture may have just taken on a
whole new meaning!
Cheese, being made from milk, contains casein protein.
Casein protein helps to fortify your teeth’s surface and protect against
cavities. Cheese is also low in sugar and acid, which damages teeth. It is also
high in calcium, which helps to strengthen teeth.
Show off that smile and remember that you still have to
brush and floss! Let us know your favorite cheese on our Facebook page!
