While you know that too much acidic foods and sugary sweets can ruin your Teeth, the tips are acidic to gum disease!

1). A Better Way to Add Flavor

Ginger root is considered a healing herb. With its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger promotes healthy tissue in your mouth.

2). Keep More Than the Doctor Away

Eating an apple can take a while. And that’s a good thing for your mouth. The munching action spurs a cleansing action that shakes up the plaque that clings to gums and teeth. Stock up on apples, but be sure to rinse your mouth afterward. Even healthy foods like apples can expose your mouth to acids.

3). Got Milk in Your Diet?

Milk, and other dairy foods such as cheese and yogurt are not only packed with bone-fortifying calcium, but also with the protein casein. In addition, drinking milk can neutralize acids produced by plaque bacteria.

No milk around? Eat a piece of cheese instead.

4). Load Up on Leafy Greens

It’s no secret that salad greens pack an all-around healthy punch, but they’re also especially successful at keeping mouths clean because they’re fiber-packed, meaning they require serious chewing to break down. The extra saliva produced by chewing neutralizes mouth bacteria. High-fiber, stringy foods like raw spinach, celery and even cooked beans offer this benefit.

5). Zap Bacteria, Layer by Layer

The raw onion is a potent bacteria-fighting food. Yes, bad breath is the enemy. But that's why sugarless gum and mouthwash were created. Onions have an antimicrobial ingredient that kills bacteria. Sliver them and toss the strips in your salad, on your sandwich and burger or in soups and stews.

Now go conquer!
