Diets play a major part in your health and that includes your teeth's condition. Eating the right food contributes to how good your pearly whites look. But what are the right foods to eat to gain the best smile? In this blog, renowned dentist Dr. Kami Hoss talks about the kind of food that should be finding their way into your plate today. Let's start with the building block of healthy teeth, and that's calcium. If you want a great set of chompers, you should get fresh milk and cheese from your local dairy farm. Teeth can weaken over time and a steady supply of calcium will help
replenish your teeth's stores of this mineral.
Aside from these animal sources, you should also eat your dark, leafy greens to get calcium. These produce can be your sole source of calcium if you're vegan. You can also include nuts like almonds and Brazil nuts to boost your protein. Your teeth breaks down because of prolonged exposure to acids and this is why we ask our patients to brush their teeth after eating something with a high amount of sugar since it's highly acidic. But you should eat mildly acidic vegetables like apples, cucumbers, and carrots for their vitamins and minerals and their high-water content, which helps your salivary glands make more saliva to keep bacteria from building up in your mouth and throat. If you're suffering from gum conditions, mushrooms like Shiitake contain a substance called lentinan. Lentinan combats the bacteria which cause gingivitis. If your gums are in a bad state, you should find ways to incorporate this savory mushroom into your dishes. It's great for soups and particularly delicious if you sauté them.
You should color your plate with these different dishes for better teeth health. As you can see, it's not hard to get to a better place in terms of dental health because there are a lot of delicious ways to get there, explains Dr. Kami Hoss.
