Ingredients to Keep Your Smile Healthy



Basil : A natural antibiotic, reduces bacteria in the mouth

Broccoli: Forms an acid-resistant film on teeth that can help prevent enamel erosion



Carrots: Full of Vitamin A which is absolutely necessary for the formation of tooth enamel.  This & all crunchy veggies also stimulate your gums making them healthy
Cheese: Offers the benefit of lactic acid to help prevent tooth decay


Celery: Activates saliva production which assists in cleansing food particles from the teeth and dilutes sugars or acids in the mouth.  Chewing celery also massages the gums

Ginger: An anti-inflammatory to support healthy mouth tissue


Green Tea:  Contains an antioxidant called Catechin which reduces bacteria growth that causes gingivitis
Kiwi:  Pack more Vitamin C than any other fruit. A lack of Vitamin C can break down the collagen network in your gums, making them tender & more susceptible to bacteria and gum (Periodontal) disease

Lemon: A natural "whitener" and assists with the pH balance in the body
Pineapple : Helps you produce extra saliva.  Combine that with citric acid and you have an all-natural bacteria fighting mouthwash,  Also contains Vitamin C & the enzyme Bromelain promoting a healing alkaline response in the mouth

Wasabi:  A Japanese version of horseradish, which contains compounds called isothiocyanates to arrest bacteria growth


Strawberries: Great "scrubbers". high in fiber and vitamin C, which is a great for gum (periodontal) health
