Fruits that helps whiten your teeth

When I say whiten your teeth I don't mean as white as snow but I'll help enhance your teeth and make it brighter. You can easily use natural fruits to achieve this instead of paying a dentist a while lot of money.

1. Apples
Apples have a high concentration of malic acid, which is used in some toothpastes. Malic acid increases saliva, which cleans your teeth and helps remove stains, according to a 2013 study conducted at the University of Grenada (Spain).

2. Pineapple

Pineapple is the only food that naturally contains bromelain-a compound with anti-inflammatory and cleansing properties. A recent study in the International Journal of Dental Hygiene found that bromelain is an effective ingredient in a stain-removing toothpaste.

3. Raisins

You may think raisins are bad for your teeth because of their sticky sweetness, but they're actually protective. Research shows that bran cereal with raisins helps clean the mouth faster than the same cereal without raisins. Chewing raisins stimulates saliva, which helps prevent plaque, stains and cavities from developing by neutralizing the acidic environment created by other foods and bacteria in your mouth.

4. Water

My teeth is supposed to be whiter than snow white because with the way i drink water thats the only way one will know. Drinking water throughout the day promotes saliva production, which in turn helps keep your pearly whites, well-white. Sipping water during and after a meal also helps rinse your mouth of any debris and loose plaque.

5. Strawberries

Like apples, strawberries also contain malic acid, and they have the added benefit of ellagitannins, antioxidants that can help reduce stain-attracting bacteria and inflammation in your mouth. And, strawberries' vitamin C can help prevent gum inflammation and periodontal disease.
