We have all heard the secret to healthy teeth: brush routinely, flosses regularly, and limit sugar intake. Nevertheless, the food you consume can also play a role in keeping your mouth healthy, and while no meal can ever replace brushing, some are surprisingly good for your teeth.

10. Chewing gum
It's disputed whether or not this is food, and we strongly advise against eating it. On the other hand, chewing gum is excellent for your teeth if it is sugar-free, as many adverts claim. Chewing increases saliva production, which helps rinse away toxic acids more effectively. It also improves the scent of your breath.

9. Salmon
Vitamin D is vital for optimum oral health because it helps your body absorb calcium and use it effectively throughout your body. Salmon is high in vitamin D and calcium, making it an all-around superfood for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. 

8. Carrots
Carrots have been touted as a cavity-fighting vegetable, with nibbling on crunchy, raw carrot sticks acting as an organic toothbrush. The chewing massages your gums, and this vibrant vegetable is high in plaque-attacking keratin and Vitamin A, both of which are essential for strengthening sensitive tooth enamel. Overall, it's a good choice for a snack in between meals.

7. Cheese
Cheese is beneficial to your teeth. It contains phosphate and calcium, which naturally strengthen teeth and bones. Still, it also helps balance the pH level in your mouth, resulting in less damaging acid, more cleansing saliva, and fewer cavities.

6. Yoghurt
Natural unsweetened yogurt is an excellent nutritious breakfast or snack. Yogurt contains both casein and calcium, strengthening enamel and repairing it if broken.

5. Sesame seeds
Consuming sesame seeds on their own or bread will benefit you in two ways. They help scrape plaque from your teeth while you chew, and they're also high in calcium. Remove any seeds caught between your teeth as quickly as possible.

4. Onions
Raw onion is quite nutritious for you, and the antibacterial sulfur components in onion will eliminate the dangerous germs on your teeth as a bonus. However, you may want to chew gum afterward!

3. Celery
Celery is excellent for brushing your teeth. Chewing celery cleanses your teeth and massages your gums, and it also produces a lot of salivae, which helps to neutralize bacteria.

2. Apples
Apples are highly acidic, and you could be forgiven for assuming that eating them would erode your tooth enamel. On the other hand, Apples have natural sugars that help neutralize toxic acids in the mouth. Chewing apples is another fantastic mouth work for saliva production, and they're high in vitamins that help keep your gums healthy.

1. Strawberries
Strawberries are sweet and acidic, and they tend to stain things red, so how can they be beneficial to your teeth? Strawberries include malic acid, an excellent natural whitener for enamel, So eating strawberries will help keep your teeth stain-free. Strawberry seeds might become lodged between your teeth, so make sure to floss after eating them.
