Matching good oral hygiene habits with healthy food choices can help reinforce your gum health. Here are 5 foods for healthy teeth, gums, and bodies to consider adding to your diet.
High-fiber foods, big leafy greens, and dairy!

We often take our teeth for granted despite our smile being so important to our self-image and one of the first things people see. But the consequences of inadequate oral care don’t just mean you might get a cavity or have a need for teeth-whitening. It could mean problems below the surface, namely increased risks for heart disease, stroke or health complications caused by severe infections.
