Dental care is of crucial importance for a beautiful smile, and Australian dentists recommend a special menu.

On the list of preferred foods, Australian dentist Dr Stephen Lynn has butter, salami and soft cheeses.

"Teeth are living organs and require adequate nutrition to regenerate and maintain healthy dentin and enamel," says Lin.

"Without adequate nutrition, your teeth will suffer."

So, if you take in enough vitamins and minerals, your teeth will naturally regenerate and be healthy and strong. However, if you eat improperly, the acid in your mouth will interfere with this natural process and lead to faster tooth decay.

"Caries are caused not only by sugar, but also by a lack of nutrients that strengthen teeth," says Lin.

So what should we eat?

Dentists say that the most important vitamins are fat-soluble vitamins, such as A, D, K2 and E.

These are good natural sources of each:

Vitamin A: beef liver, milk, fish, eggs.

Vitamin D: fatty fish, mushrooms and dairy products from grass-fed cattle. However, the best source is exposure to sunlight

Vitamin K2: soft cheeses, eggs, butter, liver and salami

Vitamin E: spinach, broccoli and nuts, reports B92.
