Key food
The ingredients in some natural foods can fight oral bacteria that cause tooth decay and strengthen tooth enamel.
Tea: The fluorine contained in tea can interact with the apatite tuberculosis in the teeth, which has the effect of anti-acid and anti-cavity. Among them, oolong tea and green tea have the highest fluoride content. The polyphenols contained in it are a complex composed of more than 30 substances, which have the effect of disinfection and sterilization, can reduce the Streptococcus mutans that causes tooth decay in the oral cavity, and have a tooth-fixing effect. Drinking tea regularly increases the flow of water in the oral cavity and maintains oral hygiene. The carbohydrates, pectin and other ingredients in the tea chemically react with saliva to moisturize the oral cavity and enhance the self-cleaning ability of the oral cavity.
Chewing tea leaves can also cure bleeding gums. But be careful, chew carefully when chewing, let the tea leaves in the mouth to grind into a fine powder and then contain the saliva to swallow.
Onions: Onions, especially fresh raw onions, can kill a variety of bacteria, including Streptococcus mutans, which causes our tooth decay.
Shiitake mushrooms: The polysaccharides contained in Shiitake mushrooms can inhibit the bacteria in the mouth from making dental plaque.
Mustard: Mustard contains some ingredients that can inhibit the reproduction of Streptococcus mutans that causes tooth decay.
Celery: Crude fiber food can sweep away part of the food residue on the teeth. In addition, hard chewing can stimulate the secretion of saliva, balance the pH of the mouth, and achieve a natural antibacterial effect. In addition to celery, cucumbers and carrots cut into strips can also massage the gums.
Drinking water is the easiest but very important way to protect teeth. Drinking water in moderation can moisturize our gum idiots and stimulate powdered saliva. Drink some water after eating, you can
Take away the food residue in the mouth and prevent the bacteria that damage the teeth from getting nourishment.
Sugar-free chewing gum. After chewing sugar-free chewing gum with “xylitol” added, it has a significant effect on inhibiting the bacteria that cause dental caries.
