The dentist told what the diet should consist of so that the smile is snow-white.
Let’s paraphrase a well-known expression: the one who has healthy snow-white teeth laughs well. It is not enough to only care about your appearance. In order for a smile to become a powerful anti-age tool in creating the image of a confident and happy woman, hygiene procedures alone cannot be dispensed with. We need to carefully choose the foods we eat, as they can protect against many diseases of the oral cavity. The owner and chief physician of the dental clinic Louisa Harper recommended seven natural products for a radiant smile to the readers of Wday.ru.

The natural color of teeth is influenced by the genetic code and age of a person. Food products containing natural or synthetic dyes change their color for a short time. Thorough cleaning of the surface layer of the enamel returns it to its natural color.
Resins of cigarette smoke impart a persistent yellowish-gray tint, and aggressive colorants of carbonated drinks thin the enamel, making it transparent. Over time, the second layer of the tooth appears through – dentin, which is darker and more matte, which creates an aging effect on the teeth. Therefore, it is important not to weaken the enamel. The loss of minerals makes it less dense. Natural whitening products are the gentlest to maintain shine and healthy teeth.
1. Dairy products
They saturate the teeth with calcium and phosphorus in the correct ratio so that dentin and enamel do not lose their density and are well mineralized. They prevent its destruction, keeping the natural whiteness of the teeth.
If you are intolerant to milk sugar, it is better to choose lactose-free dairy products.
2. Beans, spinach
Increases salivation. All hazardous substances are removed from the tooth surface. Acts as a scrub.
3. Parsley
Promotes the destruction of dental deposits and colorants contained in coffee, strong tea, red wine, berries (blueberries, blackberries, cherries) and other highly pigmented products. Cilantro is endowed with the same properties, mineral and vitamin composition.
4. Ginger
Contains sodium, zinc, potassium, iron, magnesium salts, phosphorus, calcium. Blocks caries formation. For sensitive enamel, a decoction is used.
5. Apples
Rich in essential vitamins and minerals. Increases salivation. Prevents enamel cracks. They well clean teeth from plaque, which makes them dull, and food debris. And, importantly, the tartar is partially removed.
6. Oranges
Source of vitamin C, D. Contains calcium. Orange juice cleanses the oral cavity of bacteria that destroy enamel. While the orange peel (namely its inner part) removes plaque well from the tooth surface.
When combined with bay leaf powder, it will discolor any dark spots. It is enough to hold it on the tooth surface for 5 minutes, and then rinse your mouth with water.
7. Strawberries
Contains ascorbic, salicylic and malic acids, thanks to which the berry has whitening properties. The effect of strawberry acid is much milder compared to citric acid. However, do not keep the berry puree or strawberry scrub with fine sea salt for more than 5 minutes. Then you need to brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste.
Do not brush your teeth immediately after eating foods that contain acids. The acid-softened enamel begins to harden after 30 minutes, which makes the use of the brush safe.
