The procedure itself is easy, but keeping your smile white takes a little bit more work. Fortunately, there are many common foods that have been shown to keep yellowing at bay. Here are a few that might help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crunchy Fruits and Vegetables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apples, carrots, and celery are packed with nutrients, but they\u2019re also great for your oral health in other ways. These foods increase your production of saliva, which naturally cleans the mouth by carrying food particles into the stomach. Crunchy fruits and vegetables also scrape away food from between your teeth as you eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strawberries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Strawberries are famous for staining clothes but have the potential to whiten your teeth. They contain malic acid, which is purported to work like bleach to whiten your teeth. However, they also contain citric acid, which can erode enamel. If you want to use strawberries as a whitener, you can crush them into a paste that you rub on your teeth. Leave it for five minutes before washing your mouth out with water. Then, finish by brushing and flossing as normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dairy Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Milk and cheese are great for your bones, and evidence suggests they could also help protect your teeth from decay. One study found that young children who ate yogurt four times a week had significantly less tooth decay than children who didn\u2019t. It\u2019s thought that this is due to certain proteins in dairy products that protect the teeth from harmful acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baking Soda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s long been maintained that baking soda can whiten your teeth, but recent science has proven its effectiveness. While brushing with baking soda by itself could be a little too much, there are several kinds of toothpaste on the market that have incorporated it into their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oranges and Pineapples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Citrus can be a little dangerous for your teeth, but tart fruits happen to have some benefits to your oral health, namely in the production of saliva. As mentioned previously, saliva carries food particles out of the mouth, so more of it can make the mouth cleaner. Just be sure to follow the fruit with a little bit of brushing and flossing to remove the citric acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it may not be as easy as getting teeth whitening, taking care of your smile doesn\u2019t have to be a hassle. If you pair these foods with brushing and flossing, you should have white teeth for a long time to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Claybrooke Dental of Gahanna, we\u2019ll welcome you into our office no matter your situation.
