Like the rest of your body, your teeth will benefit from a balanced diet with plenty of whole foods and little to no junk food. Additionally, certain nutrients are especially important to oral health. These include:

• Calcium – Teeth and bones need plenty of minerals, especially calcium, to stay strong and healthy. Dairy products are a great source of calcium, and studies suggest that cheese may have additional cavity-fighting properties because it alters the oral PH levels. Those on a vegan diet also have many excellent sources of calcium available such as broccoli, collard greens, soybeans, and fortified nondairy milk.
• Vitamin D – Calcium is only useful if your body can absorb it, and that process requires Vitamin D. Fish is naturally high in Vitamin D; milk, cereal, and juice are often fortified with it. Vitamin supplements are also available.
• Antioxidants – You might think of aging when you hear about antioxidants. They are molecules that fight cellular oxidation. A diet high in antioxidants can do more than help you look youthful; it can help you stay healthy. Antioxidants fight inflammation and strengthen the immune system. Green tea, berries, nuts, beans, and apples are just a few examples of foods high in antioxidants.
• Fresh vegetables – Crunchy veggies offer another oral health benefit besides their nutritional content. They actually help clean teeth, by scraping plaque and food debris from the surface as you chew.
