Eat These Foods to Naturally Whiten Your Teeth


Posted on 9/10/2020 by East Village Dental Centre
We all know that there are many foods and drinks that are notorious for staining your teeth. Coffees, teas, red wine, pasta sauce and dark dressings are only a few examples that can cause your teeth to appear darker. On the other hand, our dentist in Chicago wants you to know that there are many foods that can help naturally whiten your teeth as well. Next time you’re at the grocery store, make sure to put these items on your list:

Strawberries


Although they are red in color, strawberries have malic acid in them, which is a natural astringent that helps remove tooth discoloration on the surface of your teeth. No matter how you like to eat them, know that you are simultaneously achieving a healthier and whiter smile!

Nuts & Seeds


Abrasive textures from almonds, walnuts, cashews and sunflower seeds can help whiten your teeth by removing surface stains. Think of it as an exfoliator for your teeth!

Apples


Biting into an apple helps strengthen your gums! The fruit has a high water content that increases saliva production that can help get rid of bacteria on your teeth. These bacteria can build up and lead to discoloration.

Celery & Carrots


Both celery and carrots also have a water content that is high, so you will be able to get rid of excess bacteria on your teeth. Plus, they are a healthy snack!

Cheese


Cheese has a lot of calcium to help strengthen both your teeth and your gums. It also has casein, which is a milk protein that helps reduce mineral loss in your enamel.

Eat your way to a white smile thanks to the foods on this list! Visit our dentist in Chicago for regular cleanings to help keep your smile bright and healthy.
