Foods That Are Good For Your Smile
Did you know there are certain foods that you should eat to protect your teeth? For example:
Cheese – stimulates the production of cleansing saliva and the calcium in cheese helps harden teeth.
Crunchy things like crisp apples, celery and carrots – helps rid your mouth of food particles and their rough, fibrous texture scrubs away as you chew, nature’s toothbrush!
tea – destroys the germs that cause cavities, gum disease, and bad breath
Shiitake mushrooms – fights tooth plaque and the bacteria that live in it
Also, when drinking all those sugar-filled drinks which are horrible for your teeth, try using a straw to minimize the exposure it can have on your teeth!
Speaking of smiles, has anyone seen those commercials for the new Listerine Whitening Strips? The cool things about these are that they “dissolve” in your mouth.
Sounds like from the reviews, you will still have to rinse your mouth though. Sounds like it’s worth a try!

Tea and shiitake mushrooms, huh? Well I lived in Japan for a while, and this would explain why all the Japanese all have such white, perfect smiles……oh wait.
