Now that the weather is starting to warm up, it?s time to bust out your favorite spring recipes! One of the great things about this time of year is that many meals call for ingredients that are friendly to pristine oral health. Keep these in mind as pack for your picnic or set the dinner table!
Carrots
If you are looking for a food to help keep your teeth clean, you have found the one! Carrots have the power to take plaque off your teeth and increase your saliva production, leaving your mouth nice and clean. On top of that, they are fiber dense and contain B vitamins!
Cheese
Not only does it pair perfectly with anything, cheese is high in calcium and in protein! Cheese makes for the perfect ingredient for strong, healthy teeth.
Apples
Everyone loves a good fruit in the springtime, and apples are the perfect pick! Apples contain lots of vitamins that are great for your oral health and they are high in fiber. Like carrots, apples can help to stimulate saliva production to clean your mouth.
Greens
It is a well known fact that leafy greens are beneficial for your health. But did you know they can benefit your teeth, too? Add some kale or spinach to your salads for a dose of calcium, folic acid and vitamin B – all of which are fantastic for your teeth.
