Strawberries

Strawberries might be one of your favorite fruits, which is good, and if they are not you better normalize. They have a high malic acid concentration that is often found in some toothpaste. The acid works like a natural astringent. It helps in removing tooth discoloration on the surface of the teeth.

However, you should also note that strawberries also have citric acid, which is harmful to your tooth enamel health. Therefore, you are advised to wait for 30 minutes after eating strawberries to brush your teeth.

Apples, Carrots and Celery

Already feels crunchy by reading that right? Now the crunchy nature of such fruits and vegetables can help scrub away the plaque and bacteria and also stimulate saliva production. They also provide a good source of vitamins and minerals that strengthen the teeth.

Water

Saliva contains at least 98% of water. It is also an integral part of your dental health. Water is responsible for removing the sugar that damages the tooth enamel and causes tooth decay. Moreover, water contains minerals like fluoride that protect the tooth enamel causing gum diseases.
