While a bright smile depends on a good oral hygiene and rigorous dental care, it all begins with healthy food choices. C.R. Sfeir D.D.S., General Dentistry, one of Lorain, OH's leading dental offices, advises all of their clients to make wise meal and snack choices.

Next time you go shopping, they recommend going for:

  • Crunchy & Chewy Foods: Chewy and crunchy foods are not only fun to eat — they also stimulate saliva, which goes a long way towards neutralizing the acids produced by cavity-causing bacteria. Celery, carrots, and nuts are a great way to use the power of crunch to your advantage.
  • Milk & Dairy: Everyone knows dairy products contain calcium, a crucial component of strong bones and healthy teeth, but this is just the beginning. Milk and cheese also contain casein, a vital protein proven to prevent the formation of cavities.
  • DentistTea: Your dentist may have warned you against tea because it may discolor your teeth, but having a cup a day may destroy the bacteria in your mouth. Both green and black tea have proven anti-cavity effects — just make sure to brush your teeth afterward, and drink plenty of water.
  • Antibacterial Food: Cavities, bad breath, and gum disease can all be attributed to bacteria growth. Fortunately, many delicious snack options offer antibacterial benefits. Apples, foods containing garlic, grapes, shitake mushrooms, and nutmeg can help you keep your smile bright and your breath fresh.
