 Three practices have stood out for decades in the oral health sector: flossing to maintain healthy gums, brushing teeth to maintain their white nature and, for some, rinsing with mouthwash to keep the breath fresh. The common goal is to keep our mouths in the healthiest state to lessen the risks of diseases. There is a loophole to this strategy, however. Paying too much attention to the disease-causing bacteria and dirt makes us ignore the oral cells that we are supposed to build and strengthen. The cells and molecules present in our mouth are deigned to defend our oral hygiene. By keeping our natural defenses strong and ready, we give our teeth a better chance of defense. Fiber-Rich Foods and their ImpactsSome foods are bad for your teeth while some are good for your teeth. Others help to clean your teeth. Among them is fiber. According to the American Dental Association, foods that are rich in fiber help to clean your gums and teeth. Fiber also gets saliva flowing abundantly. This is important because saliva reduces the effects of bad acids and enzymes and contains traces of phosphate and calcium, which restore lost tooth minerals. Eating apples and carrots can be a good way to fight bad breath, even for your dog. These two are full of fiber that clean your teeth by scrubbing plaque as you enjoy your meal. They also help to fight the acids that cause bad breath. If you are searching for a low-calorie option, look no further than leafy greens. Packed with high amounts of fiber, kales, spinach and collard greens will also scrub out debris from the teeth as you eat. Moreover, they contain a lot of calcium and vitamin B.
