5 Natural Teeth Whiteners

Our dentist in Keller TX has had many patients complain about the color of their teeth. Unfortunately, some of them have tried teeth whitening procedures, and their teeth were still not as white as they would like. Others couldn’t afford teeth whitening procedures.

If you wish for whiter teeth, we recommend consuming some of the following foods. These foods have a tendency to naturally whiten your teeth:

1. Celery
Celery requires a lot of chewing, which in turn produces saliva. Saliva is a great way to help prevent cavities and dental plaque buildup. Additionally, due to the surface, it naturally massages the gums and cleans the surface and between teeth.

2. Strawberries
We recommend snacking on strawberries. Strawberries contain an enzyme that naturally whitens your teeth. It’s also a naturally beneficial for your overall health since there are natural sugars within strawberries.

3. Sesame Seeds
Sesame seeds and other primitive foods naturally help to scrape plaque off of our teeth. They also are high in calcium, which helps strengthen your teeth and surrounding bone!

4. Cheese
Did you know that cheese balances pH levels in your mouth? Acidic pH levels encourage the growth of bacteria. It can also help to rebuild the enamel and produce saliva.

5. Green Tea
Green tea contains substances, known as Catechins, which kill bacteria in your mouth. It not only helps to clean your teeth, but it can help to freshen your breath as well. Try enjoying a cup or two of green tea a day!
