 If you want extra power when it comes to fighting off cavities, you should look first to your diet. The foods you eat can go a long way towards keeping your mouth healthy, or they can ruin your oral health, depending on what you find yourself eating the most of.
Many foods are great at helping to keep your mouth healthy, so long as they are eaten as part of a healthy diet. Here are some of the most powerful foods you can consume when your goal is to keep cavities at bay. Foods You Want to Eat Regularly to Keep Cavities AwayWhile this first item isn't a food, it does help stave off cavities. No matter what you eat, if you drink tea, specifically black and green tea varieties, you are less likely to have cavities because of their ability to keep your teeth healthier. Dairy products go a long way towards helping fight off cavities. They coat your teeth in casein, and that helps protect your teeth from the bacteria that cause cavities. Produce is another great item to help keep your teeth cavity-free. They scrub your teeth as you eat, and push tartar off of your teeth. Plus, as you eat each piece of produce, it stimulates your gums, keeping them healthier, too. Consider things like celery, apples, carrots, and pears when you want a snack. If you want additional information about keeping your teeth free from cavities, ask us at your next cleaning or exam. We have many ideas on what you can do, and what you should avoid, if you want to keep your teeth healthier. It is not just about what you do eat, but also what you do not eat, if you want truly healthy teeth. Find out more when you come in and see us next!
