Dental Care and Fiber-Rich Food – Dental Insurance Plus
Did you know: According to the American Dental Association that foods with fiber can help keep your teeth and gums clean. Fiber rich foods also get your saliva flowing. Next to good home dental care, your saliva is your best natural defense against cavities and gum disease. About twenty minutes after you eat something that has sugars or starches, your saliva begins to reduce the effects of the acids and enzymes attacking your teeth. Saliva contains traces of calcium and phosphate. So it also restores minerals to areas of teeth that have lost them from the bacterial acids.
