Try to eat a variety of foods, in as many colors as possible, because these are meals that are healthy for your teeth, it is recommended by dentists for white and healthy teeth.
- Avoid eating things you see on TV commercials or food that is already packaged, because these things are usually bad for you. And when your teeth are bad, so is your health, says Dr Louis Ehrlich, dentist, trainer and model from Sydney.
He is an advocate of the theory about the connection of oral hygiene with the overall well-being of every person. He believes that the main culprits for tooth discoloration, such as tea, coffee and soy sauces, should be avoided, Daily Mail reports.
For breakfast, he recommends an omelette with lots of fresh vegetables, because that meal, he says, is full of vitamins A and D, which is important for the strength of teeth and their color. He notes that the healthier and stronger the teeth, the better they will look.
- If you don't like eggs, eat yogurt and berries for breakfast. It would be ideal if the yogurt is natural and organic because classic fruit yogurts are full of sugar. Also, you should be aware that yogurt is quite acidic, so you shouldn't eat too much of it, he says, adding that swishing coconut oil in your mouth is a great thing.
According to him, it's best to eat a fresh salad and some protein for lunch, such as organic chicken breast or grass-fed beef. This, he claims, is great for gum health. Eat fish too. It is good to put some avocado and flax seeds in the salad because they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Instead of snacking on unhealthy food that has a bad effect on the teeth, he recommends snacking on carrots, celery stalks, nuts... Also, if you want something sweet, choose fruits, say strawberries and blueberries.
- Try to eat a variety of foods, in as many colors as possible, because these meals are healthy for the teeth. This helps them keep their whiteness and health. In addition, dietary fiber is important for the production of saliva in the mouth. Saliva washes the mouth and teeth, which reduces the risk of their decay - he says
Tricks against bad breath
Green tea is rich in health-promoting flavonoids, including catechin, which has antioxidant and anti-cancer effects in the body. From an oral health perspective, green tea catechin has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria responsible for gum disease. Polyphenols from green tea also have the effect of deodorizing the oral cavity, reducing the amount of volatile sulfur compounds that contribute to bad breath, explains Dr. Ehrlich.
