All three are great sources for calcium, which helps to strengthen bones and teeth, but they also contain casein, which protects teeth from decay and cavities.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Water and tea<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In each case, the benefits of these differ. Water&rsquo;s primary benefit is that it keeps the mouth from becoming too dry and also helps wash away food. Why is it important for the mouth not to become too dry? Because dry mouth contributes to bad breath, and it can promote the formation of cavities. Tea, on the other hand, contains antioxidants as well as polyphenols, which help in the battle against inflammation and bacteria growth.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fruits, veggies, and nuts<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because some veggies, like carrots and celery, take some considerable chewing, these can be beneficial for your smile, as well as your overall health. Chewing produces saliva, which has a neutralizing effect on the decay-causing acid created by bacteria. For other foods, like garlic, apples, cocoa, and nutmeg, bacteria have a harder time sticking to teeth. With fewer bacteria in the mouth, there&rsquo;s less of a risk of developing cavities or gum disease.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you have questions about what you should be eating to help your smile? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lehighvalleydentalhealth.com\/meet-dr-john-salivonchik.html\">Dr. S.
