To prevent diseases of the teeth and the entire oral cavity in general, try to enrich your menu with products containing elements such as: phosphorus, calcium, iron, fluoride, vitamins B6, C and E.

Calcium helps protect your teeth from damage and the harmful effects of various temperatures. Thanks to this element (and phosphorus), tooth enamel becomes stronger and does not break down.

Calcium is found in many dairy products, broccoli, soy, sesame, dried figs; and phosphorus - in beef, fish, eggs.

Fluoride prevents the formation of caries, because without it the tooth enamel is quickly destroyed under the influence of acids. If you want to get fluoride, eat walnuts, red fish and drink black tea. Keep in mind that you should not brew the tea for more than 5 minutes, because the element is destroyed.

Iron deficiency in the body causes problems with blood circulation, including gums, which can lead to the development of periodontitis. To prevent this from happening, do not forget about products such as: liver, red meat, buckwheat, beans and apples.

Without vitamin D, tartar quickly forms on the teeth. Deficiency of this vitamin affects the absorption of calcium needed for teeth and all bones, and therefore their strength. Therefore, more often include in your menu fish, mushrooms, chicken eggs. In addition, the element is synthesized in the body under the influence of sunlight, so expose yourself more to the sun and fresh air.

Vitamin B6 fights against cracks, cold sores and sores in the oral cavity. Rich in it are: the sprouts of cereals, walnuts, hazelnuts, potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, berries.

The health of the gums is taken care of by vitamin C , which is contained in large quantities in: rose hips, blackcurrants, onions, citrus fruits, cabbage, carrots, beets, green peas and others.

All these foods will help you keep your teeth healthy and white. In addition to the nutritional value, the consistency of the products is also important for the teeth. For example, hard vegetables and fruits provide the gums with a good massage, and the teeth are protected from tartar formation. In addition, raw fruits and vegetables stimulate salivation, and saliva "washes" the oral cavity and is able to reduce the amount of bacteria and microbes that threaten the health of teeth and gums .

Propolis , which treats caries and periodontitis, is extremely useful for teeth . Scientists have found about 100 elements in this bee product that provide tooth protection .

By enriching your body with these and other foods, you will keep your teeth healthy and beautiful for a longer time.
