What to eat for healthy teeth

Pho­to: tommerton2010

Amer­i­can sci­en­tists have com­piled a list of prod­ucts that have a ben­e­fi­cial effect on den­tal health. Experts say that these prod­ucts can effec­tive­ly pro­tect tooth enam­el and pro­tect teeth from decay.

leafy veg­eta­bles

While chew­ing veg­eta­bles, their micro­scop­ic par­ti­cles remain on the teeth, which effec­tive­ly fight bac­te­ria. Eat­ing leafy veg­eta­bles also pro­motes bet­ter absorp­tion of cal­ci­um, so you need to include all types of cab­bage and sal­ads, spinach and sor­rel in your diet more often.

Dairy

Reg­u­lar con­sump­tion of dairy prod­ucts also has a ben­e­fi­cial effect on the con­di­tion of our teeth. Cal­ci­um con­tained in milk is the main build­ing mate­r­i­al for teeth and bones. In addi­tion, dairy prod­ucts also con­tain valu­able sub­stances hydrox­ya­p­atite and casein, which pro­tect tooth enam­el from destruc­tion and dis­ease.

Water

Water is one of the most impor­tant ele­ments of den­tal health. We are talk­ing about ordi­nary pure water, and not tea, cof­fee and oth­er drinks. Sci­en­tists have found that when the body is dehy­drat­ed, the risk of devel­op­ing dis­eases of the oral cav­i­ty dou­bles. In addi­tion, it may increase the like­li­hood of devel­op­ing tooth decay.

Straw­ber­ry

It turns out that the fra­grant berry is not only tasty, but also good for the teeth. The fact is that straw­ber­ries con­tain a rich set of trace ele­ments that can whiten teeth. And mal­ic acid, which is in the com­po­si­tion of the berry, makes straw­ber­ries one of the best means for the pre­ven­tion of var­i­ous den­tal dis­eases.

Sug­ar free gum

Sci­en­tists put reg­u­lar sug­ar-free gum on a par with prod­ucts that pos­i­tive­ly affect den­tal and oral health. While chew­ing gum, sali­va is active­ly pro­duced, which is a nat­ur­al clean­er of tooth enam­el. And xyl­i­tol, found in many chew­ing gums, is rec­og­nized as an effec­tive fight­er against bac­te­ria in the mouth.
