Taking care of your teeth isn't difficult. In fact, you can even help your teeth while you eat!

🥬 Celery is a crunchy vegetable with a high water content and high in antioxidants. Chewing celery helps clean your teeth, massage your gums and stimulate saliva production to neutralize bacteria.

🍓 Berries are fibrous fruits packed full of vitamin C, antioxidants and polyphenols, which help fend off harmful bacteria in the mouth and reduce tooth decay, plaque and gum disease.

🥝 Kiwi is another fibrous fruit packed full of vitamin C and calcium, which helps neutralize damaging acids in the mouth and strengthen tooth enamel.

🍎 Apples can help cleanse the mouth and fight bad breath. The fibre content of this fruit helps scrub away plaque and debris from teeth, and the acidity helps combat bad bacteria.

🥕 Carrots, much like apples, act as a ‘natural toothbrush’ because of their crunchy fibre content. This vegetable is high in plaque-attacking keratin and vitamin A, which helps strengthen tooth enamel.

🥗 Spinach and other leafy greens like kale contain calcium, folic acid and vitamin B, which strengthen tooth enamel and bone.
