Health experts say certain foods can surprisingly help prevent tooth decay.
 |
| You may like your eggs fried or boiled, but no matter how you prepare them, eggs are rich in vitamin D and help fight tooth decay. Vitamin D prevents tooth decay because it promotes tooth growth and makes teeth stronger and less susceptible to decay. |
 |
| Sweet Potatoes: If you're wondering how to prevent tooth decay with sweet foods, try eating sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A, which is essential for saliva function, and lowers the pH of the mouth, helping to prevent tooth decay. |
 |
| Salami might be a surprising food to combat oral health issues. But an Australian dentist has noted that vitamin K2, one of the lesser-known vitamins found in salami, is essential for dental health. |
 |
| Plain yogurt is rich in calcium, vitamin D, and immune-boosting probiotics that help keep teeth strong. To help increase the amount of calcium in your teeth, foods containing vitamin D, magnesium, and phosphorus can also help. |
 |
| Strawberries provide a lot of vitamin C which helps heal wounds, thus helping to keep gums healthy. |
 |
| Avocado: This may seem unbelievable, because no one thinks that avocados help keep teeth and mouth healthy. However, avocados are rich in Vitamin B12, which is beneficial in healing mouth wounds. Vitamin B deficiency can lead to gingivitis, a gum infection that leads to tooth decay. |
 |
| Avocado: The potassium content of avocados also helps prevent tooth decay. Potassium is a mineral that helps strengthen and prevent bone loss. A lack of potassium can cause tooth decay in some people. |
 |
| Nuts: Nuts are rich in phosphorus, which is great for protecting teeth. Phosphorus-rich foods have been shown to protect tooth enamel and reduce the risk of cavities by making saliva neutralize acids. |
 |
| Beans are one of the best sources of plant-based protein, but did you know that they are also great for your teeth thanks to their high phosphate content? Our teeth are made up of calcium and phosphate, so these minerals are essential for rebuilding and maintaining healthy teeth. |
