Smile brings a sense of general happiness to the people around you. The key to a wonderful and lovely smile is healthy and sparkling teeth. For a healthy lifestyle, for better digestion and of course for the smile, maintaining oral health and keeping the teeth strong is very important. Brushing, flossing, dental visits can help in maintaining healthy teeth. But, in the long run, there are a lot of other factors one needs to consider to make teeth stronger. Here, are 10 foods that help to make teeth stronger.

 

1. Sugar free products


Use sugar free food products whenever you can. Use of artificial sweeteners in place of sugar is a smart move to maintain strong teeth.

 

2. Legumes


Known for their high protein content, legumes help in making teeth strong. A diet with legumes such as beans is advised.

 

3. Vegetables


Fibers in vegetables are known for maintaining a balance in acidic levels in the mouth by neutralizing acids. Lesser the acid produced, lesser the damage done to teeth. Broccoli and mushrooms are fine examples.

 

4. Fruits


Eating raw food makes teeth stronger. Fruits are known for their nutrients and their taste. When eaten on a regular basis, they make teeth stronger as a majority of fruits are consumed raw.

 

5. Water


Water helps maintain pH levels in the mouth. With acidic levels high in the mouth, which are hospitable for cavity causing bacteria, consuming 4-5 glasses of water helps in the long run.


6. Dairy products


Calcium and phosphates are also other elements that maintain neutrality. But, dairy products are more preferred for their calcium content that make teeth stronger. A diet with cheesecake as a dessert is considered very healthy for teeth.

 

7. Tea


Green and black teas are recommended by dentists for stronger teeth as they contain polyphenols that fight bacteria.

 

8. Licorice


Licorice is generally available in the form of a sweetened candy. Find the right licorice without sugar. Licorice is preferred for its antibacterial properties. It also freshens your breath. Make sure it is used in limit as it is potent and too much is bad for health. Also, watch out for teeth stains!

 

9. Chocolates


A shocking addition but true. Chocolates do help in building strong teeth. Dark chocolates in just quantities are helpful. Make sure the concentration of chocolate is high and not diluted by sugars or other dairy products.

 

10. Five Cs


Cloves, cinnamon, cumin, coriander and cardamom are five essential ingredients that will not only make the food tastier but also maintain oral health.

  1. Hi,
    Thank you for your useful information on foods that strengthen teeth. I believe the number one enemy for the good health of teeth is sugar. Not any type of sugar, but more specifically, white processed sugar.
    There are many alternatives for those who really have a "sweet tooth" and cannot do without this substance which harms our teeth so much. Natural sugars from fruits and vegetables are a much healthier solution.
    On top of keeping teeth in a healthy condition, by using, for example, sugar from the Stevia plant, we will receive the benefit of satisfying our appetite for something sweet, avoiding, at the same time, those extra calories.
    Also, two natural products which are very beneficial for the health of teeth and they keep them naturally clean are raw strawberries and carrots.

  3. Sad, but true! Sugar is sweet and can give temporary energy, but on the other hand, it is very harmful to our teeth. Sugar is like an acid that dissolves the tooth’s enamel. If not prevented, it will turn into plaque which will eventually create a tiny hole that’s commonly known as cavities.
