By adding these foods to your food pyramid, you will help keep your teeth looking fresh and clean. We have the dentists Brookfield, WI residents can trust.
\n<\/p>\n

Foods That Can Help Keep Your Teeth White<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s important to note that there are plenty of foods that aren\u2019t so great for maintaining a white smile. Any snacks or food that are high in sugar content, as always, should be avoided at all costs. Not only can they help discolor your teeth, but you\u2019re at risk of developing cavities, too. Foods that are full of food-coloring chemicals can also leave your teeth looking lackluster. Foods and drinks such as coffee, dark tea, red wine, blueberries, candy and more can damage your tooth\u2019s color.<\/p>\n

Switching gears, let\u2019s now discuss the foods that are great for your teeth while helping keep them white:<\/p>\n

Strawberries<\/u>: Naturally delicious and beautiful to look at, these healthy treats are inundated with malic acid that helps remove any discoloration on a tooth. You can add strawberries to a salad, cereal, or any entr\u00e9e. Each bite is doing your teeth a favor.<\/p>\n

Seeds\/nuts<\/u>: These crunchy delights help rub plaque and other stains off of your teeth. When you get hungry, consider almonds for a snack or sunflower seeds. In addition to offering many nutritional benefits, they\u2019re delicious, too!<\/p>\n

Apples<\/u>: An apple\u2019s crispness is huge in helping to promote gum health. An apple\u2019s high-water content increases saliva production, which helps rinse your mouth of harmful bacteria and microscopic food particles.<\/p>\n

Carrots<\/u>:\u00a0 Containing the same type of high-water content, it aids in helping the flow of saliva stay strong. With each crunch you make, your gums stay strengthened and it\u2019s great for your overall health, too.<\/p>\n
