While cosmetic dentists can easily and effectively grant you a brighter, whiter smile in just an hour, there are certain foods you can eat that can help you maintain your new look. Crunchy foods like apples, celery, and carrot sticks stimulate saliva production in your mouth, which can help prevent plaque from forming.
These foods also scrub your teeth as you eat them, removing plaque and bacteria. Plaque buildup on your teeth can not only cause tooth decay, but it also allows stains to form on your teeth. Acidic food like oranges, strawberries, lemons, and limes can naturally whiten your teeth and kill bacteria. The lactic acid in dairy products can also protect your teeth from decay.
