5 FORTIFYING FOODS FOR YOUR TEETH :) Eating the right foods can help you fend off plaque, gingivitis and periodontal disease. Help keeps your gums and teeth strong with these five fortifying foods! WATER: Water helps to wash away debris and keeps your saliva levels high. Saliva is one of your best defenses against tooth decay as it contains proteins and minerals that counteract any ingested acids that wear away the enamel. Saliva is 95% water, so if you want to fight tooth de...cay, do yourself a favor and stay hydrated! A simple rinse with water after drinking sugary or darkly colored beverages will help to prevent staining and displace sugar particles. STRAWBERRIES: Strawberries are chock-full of vitamin C that is required for collagen production. Strong and healthy gums are essential to your overall oral health. Just a 1/2 cup of strawberries will give you 70% of your daily value of vitamin C! ORANGES: Another great provider of vitamin C, oranges help keep your gums healthy by strengthening the blood vessels and connective tissue that hold your teeth in your jaw. Vitamin C helps reduce inflammation which can prevent or slow down the progression of gingivitis. SALMON: Fatty fish like salmon are great sources of vitamin D which allows your body to absorb and use calcium, a nutrient that protects your teeth and gums from disease. Vitamin D makes it easier for your teeth and bones to get the full power of calcium from your diet. MILK: Milk is a great source of calcium, which protects your teeth against gum disease and keeps your jaw bone strong and healthy. In order for your teeth to remain string and healthy, they need a strong foundation. Strengthen your teeth and let your smile shine!
