From Worldental.org , which is an on-line dental health magazine, this article talks about nine “foods”, that I would more likely label as foods, spices and naturally occurring sweeteners, that help improve dental health in a number of ways, including:
- Reducing and neutralizing bacteria in the mouth
- Creating an anti-acid film
- Boosting anti-inflammatory properties
- Acting as a natural tooth whitener
- Aiding with dry mouth syndrome by boosting saliva production
- Strengthening teeth through mineral fusion
- Providing natural scrubbing agents
- Actual decay prevention
