Whiten your teeth naturally

Learn How to Achieve Whiter Teeth

Just about everyone wants a whiter, brighter smile. Here is a list of foods that will help whiten your teeth naturally!:

Apples: The extra saliva produced while eating an apple can help wash away bacteria that can lead to discoloration. The crunchiness can also help with strengthening your gums!

Raw Onions: The sulfur compounds in onions keep plaque from forming on your teeth. They won't work wonders for your breath, but you are also more likely to brush your teeth after eating them!

Seeds & Nuts: Nuts are kind of like an exfoliator for your teeth. The abrasive texture of almonds, walnuts, cashews, and sunflower seeds helps to remove surface stains.

Celery & Carrots: The high water content in the veggies is great for washing away food debris and strengthening your gums.

Broccoli: High-fiber, coarse foods, like broccoli, act as a scrubbing agent for your teeth.

Cheese: Casein, a milk protein found in cheese, has been shown to reduce the loss of minerals from tooth enamel. In addition, the calcium cheese provides will help strengthen your teeth & gums.

Oranges: The flesh of an orange helps neutralize the acid in your mouth that causes decay.

Water: Sip and swish between glasses of wine and when eating dark, pigmented foods to prevent staining.
