10 Foods for Healthier Teeth

Posted on Feb 20, 2018

You may have heard about foods that can stain and harm your teeth, like coffee and popcorn, but do you know which foods are actually good for your teeth? Here are some foods that teeth love: 1) Hard cheeses lower the acid level in your mouth, which helps prevent the erosion of tooth enamel. 2) Yogurt is high in probiotics that protect against cavities. 3) Oranges are less acidic than many other citrus fruits and are high in Vitamin C which helps keep your gums strong. 4) Ginger is a natural breath freshener and helps prevent the growth of bacteria. 5) Celery is an edible dental floss and contains lots of water to wash away other food particles. 6) Nuts contain calcium that can help harden your tooth enamel. 7) Raw broccoli florets can scrub away plaque build-up on your teeth. 8) Milk is rich in jaw-strengthening calcium. 9) Fresh cranberries contain polyphenols that prevent the build-up of plaque 10) Sugar-free gum helps scour food particles away from your teeth.

Dental Tips Straight from Cupid!

Posted on Jan 19, 2018

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so we thought we’d share a few things you can do that may help you cozy up to your special Valentine. 1) Chew gum with xylitol. It can help curb snacking, which is great for those who want to shed a few pounds, and it also helps prevent cavities. 2) Chase away oral bacteria that causes bad breath. Use an antibacterial mouthwash, brush your tongue, floss regularly, and keep a sugar-free breath mint or two on hand. 3) Plan to toast with white wine or champagne instead of red wine that is certain to turn your lips, teeth, and tongue an unattractive dark purple. 4) Decide to quit smoking. It’s terrible for your teeth, and it can often be terrible for your love life too! 5) For a bright, kissable smile, consider teeth whitening. At Discovery Smiles, teeth whitening can brighten your smile in a single visit. If you’re ready to dazzle someone special with a brilliant, white smile, call Discovery Smiles at 520-721-2000 to book an appointment.
