Best Foods For Healthy Teeth - Slideshow

1 / 13

Introduction

A Healthy Smile is a Beautiful Smile. The health of the teeth can get eclipsed by plaque, tartar, cavities, and gum infections. Dental plaque is a bio-film created when acid-producing bacteria Streptococcus mutans and anaerobes feed on fermentable carbohydrates (starch and sugar) and dissolve the carbonated hydroxyapatite mineral of the enamel. The top methods of maintaining healthy teeth and alkaline mouth pH values are

  • Brushing twice a day
  • Regular flossing
  • Using mouth cleansers
  • Chewing food 32 times to increase the saliva production
  • Eating healthy and alkaline foods that maintain mouth pH environment
