Good morning,

 

How often do you smile?

 

In the next five minutes I am going to tell you some food items

that will help you give a confident smile. 

 

1. Your teeth need calcium and phosphorus for strength and to

remineralize themselves. Hence milk, nuts, meat, chicken and cheese

are ideal for oral health. Cheese has a low carbohydrate, and high

calcium and phosphate content enabling it to balance the mouth's

pH. So, instead of chocolates and sweets have a small cube of

cheese everyday!

 

2. Vitamin C foods bestow healthy gums. Periodontal diseases can

increase with vitamin c deficiency as it is a great antioxidant

needed to repair connective tissue and aid bone regeneration. So

have oranges, lemons, kiwis, gooseberries and vegetables like

broccoli, green pepper, cauliflower, tomatoes and sesame seeds and

more. Add these acidic foods in to a large meal.Vitamin D

deficiency increases the risk of gum bleeding. So get some exposure

while you can.

 

3. Fresh raw onions in the diet can destroy various types of

bacteria, including Streptococcus mutans that cause cavities. So

eat onions, and chew a mint afterwards!

 

4. Mint will help you get rid of the foul smell of onions,freshen

your breath, destroy all bacteria and clean your teeth and tongue.

 

5. Celery is a great food for those who love their teeth. It is

chewy producing a lot of saliva, which in turn neutralizes

bacteria. Celery is also an abrasive food and serves to massage

your gums, and clean teeth. So have those crunchy apples and

carrots for dental health.

 

6. Catechins in green tea can kill the bacteria in the mouth that

turn sugar into cavity causing plaque. You can enjoy the health

benefits of green tea by having 2-5 cups a day.

 

7. Grape seed extract contains polyphenols which prevent tooth

decay and gum disease by thwarting the growth of bacteria.

 

8. Though water cannot called a "food" drinking plenty of water in

necessary to hydrate gums and stimulate the secretion of saliva.

That's one of the reasons why it is important to drink a glass of

water after eating food.

 

At last not the least, avoid eating as much sugar as possible and

smile along!

 

I would be happy to answer any other queries you might have.
