\"fullIn 2018, <\/span>BBC Good Foods<\/span><\/a> says the some of the trendiest foods include fermented ones, non-alcoholic drinks, special teas, and Hawaiian food. We\u2019re willing and excited to try all of the above, but your dentist <\/a>in Mesquite would also like to put a special emphasis on the ones that are good for your smile. This year, make good oral health the new trend and consider adding the following 5 foods into your diet!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#1: Texas Peaches<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s time for lovely Texas peaches (and melons, too!). Eating these fresh fruits on a daily basis is an excellent choice for your oral health — and making them local is also great for the environment. Peaches contain a whopping dose of vitamin C, which boosts collagen production to promote better periodontal (gum) health. That\u2019s a great benefit for your smile health! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#2: Tofu<\/span><\/h2>\n

Plant-based proteins are very \u201cin\u201d right now, and they are also superfood for your smile. Adding tofu into your diet can help you enjoy stronger teeth, because this soy-based item contains a good portion of your daily value of calcium and other important nutrients. That helps to strengthen your tooth enamel and reduce your risk of tooth decay, sensitivity, and other issues. <\/span><\/p>\n

#3: Kefir<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another item at the top of trendy foods in 2018 is anything fermented — and kefir is one of those choices that boosts your smile health as well. Drinking this liquid-y, tangy dairy item is sort of like mixing a splash of champagne with your favorite yogurt. It may sound weird, but it\u2019s delicious when added to oatmeal, fresh fruit, or just drunk on its own. And the boost of calcium will leave your teeth happy, too! <\/span><\/p>\n

#4: White Tea<\/span><\/h2>\n

Thinking of what you can do to get your teeth whiter this summer? Grab hold of the trend in specialty teas and reduce your coffee consumption to reduce exterior stains gradually. Substituting your morning cup of joe with white or green tea is a great way to enjoy lighter teeth without sacrificing that joyous caffeine perk. <\/span><\/p>\n

#5: Berries<\/span><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s nothing better than a fresh fruit salad during the summertime heat, and berries are in full season this time of year. These fruits is great for your teeth, as they contain all the vitamins that promote good gum health — from vitamin C to fiber and potassium that are good for the whole body. Just be sure to rinse your mouth out after eating the highly pigmented ones to avoid their potential staining effects! <\/span><\/p>\n

Fine-tuning your diet is a great way to boost your oral and overall health. By adding these 5 trendy items this summer, you can enjoy healthier gums AND cleaner teeth — and look cool while doing it. That\u2019s a great combination! <\/span><\/p>\n
