Healthy Foods for Beautiful Smiles

Munching on teeth-friendly foods in addition to regular brushing and flossing can help make your smile looks its best. While sugary foods can cause decay, cranberries, carrots and yogurt can actually help prevent it.

Cranberries can also provide a temporary shield over teeth to prevent stains from drinking coffee, cola and wine as well as from eating blueberries and other dark pigmented foods.

Citrus foods such as limes, lemons, and oranges contain vitamin C that is good for gums as well as combating bacteria. Additionally, grapefruit has been found to help reduce bleeding from gingivitis.

Lastly, don't forget to sip on some antioxidant-filled green tea to kill both the bacteria that causes decay and bad breath.
