To help support your oral health, we recommend eating a well-balanced diet. Unfortunately, sweets and fruit juices are not good for your teeth. These types of foods can cause cavities. In addition to limiting these types of foods, you should add the following to your diet:

Cheese

Soft, fresh cheeses such as Brie, Mascarpone, and cream cheese are delicious and good for your teeth. These cheeses contain calcium and phosphorus, which strengthen teeth.

Hard and aged cheeses such as cheddar and parmesan, on the other hand, are not so great for your teeth. These cheeses have high levels of acidity, which can break down tooth enamel, leading to tooth decay or cavities.

Milk

Milk is an excellent source of calcium, which is important for both tooth and bone health. Low-fat or fat-free milk is the best option, as it contains 25% of the recommended daily calcium intake for adults.

In addition to calcium, milk also contains magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin D.

Carrots

Carrots are crunchy and firm, making them a great option for a snack. The fiber found in carrots helps stimulate saliva production, which rinses away bacteria and food particles. They are also high in vitamin A, which is essential for healthy teeth and gums. Eating them regularly can even whiten your teeth!

Celery

Celery contains a lot of water, which is great for flushing plaque and bacteria off of your teeth. It is also high in fiber, which helps to eliminate excess bacteria in the mouth.

It also contains a lot of vitamin C. This vitamin is essential for keeping your gums healthy. It can protect your gums from bleeding and can keep your gums healthy.

Green Vegetables

Dentists recommend eating green vegetables to avoid developing gum disease. Vegetables such as broccoli and leafy greens contain calcium and vitamin D. These nutrients are essential for bone health.

Other vegetables such as spinach, celery, and cucumbers are also good for the teeth. They contain high water content and fiber. Water-rich foods are great for remineralizing the teeth.

Nuts

• Almonds are high in calcium, which builds strong teeth.
• Cashews are high in magnesium, which helps keep teeth strong.
• Walnuts are high in manganese, which is important for healthy bones, including teeth.
• Peanuts are high in calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, which all help keep teeth strong.
• Pistachios are high in phosphorus and vitamin B6, both of which are important for healthy bones and teeth.

Apples

Apples are high in fiber, which cleans your teeth as you chew. Their crisp, firm texture also helps stimulate saliva production, which helps rinse your mouth of harmful bacteria.

The skin of an apple contains malic acid, which can help remove stains from your teeth.

Eggs

Contrary to popular belief, eggs are a very beneficial food. Eggs contain phosphorus, calcium, and vitamin D and are good for your bones, teeth, and muscles but also for your overall health.

Phosphorus and calcium help strengthen tooth enamel, while vitamin D helps your body absorb and process the minerals. Vitamin D is also a key nutrient for your immune system.

Fish

Fish is a great source of lean protein, and it can also be a good source of vitamin D. Vitamin D can help your body absorb calcium, which strengthens your teeth.

Salmon and tuna are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation. Inflammation can cause gum disease and tooth decay, so eating fish with omega-3 fatty acids can help protect you from these problems.
