What Foods are Healthy for Your Teeth and Why?

- High in Calcium and Nutrients: Cheese, milk, plain yogurt, calcium-fortified tofu, leafy greens and almonds.

- Protein-rich and Rich in Phosophorus: Meat, poultry, fish, milk and eggs. Both of these minerals play a critical role in dental health, by protecting and rebuilding tooth enamel.

- Fiber/Water: Fruits and vegetables. They can help balance the sugars they contain and help to clean the teeth. These foods also help stimulate saliva production, which washes harmful acids and food particles away from teeth and helps neutralize acid, protecting teeth from decay.

- Vitamin A & C: Fruits or other foods that contain vitamin C (important for healthy gums and quick healing of wounds) and vitamin A (another key nutrient in building tooth enamel).
