Polish Those Pearly Whites

Did you know there are foods that actually help to keep your teeth white rather than stain them?

Firm fruits and vegetables such as apples, green beans, cauliflower, carrots, celery, and especially strawberries and oranges scrub teeth while being chewed and help promote the production and flow of saliva, which neutralizes acids and protects teeth. 

Dairy products, especially cheeses and items high in calcium, also assist in keeping teeth white.  The lactic acid in these products help prevent tooth decay. Harder cheeses also help remove food particles left on teeth. 

Teeth stainers: blueberries, red and white wine, soy sauce, tobacco, coffee, tea and soft drinks.
