Eating certain foods can cause your teeth to yellow and lose their natural white shine. Luckily, there are healthy foods that can help prevent this from happening.
Coffee, tea, red wine and canned soft drinks are common foods that can cause yellow teeth. In addition, there are fruits that are not only rich in nutrients but also help prevent yellow teeth, according to the health website Healthline (USA).
Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain which has a natural teeth whitening effect.
Fruits that can help reduce yellowing of teeth include:
Apple
Apples contain nutrients that have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anti-cancer properties. In addition to these benefits, apples can also protect your teeth when you can’t brush.
A study published in the journal PLoS One found that chewing two apples can reduce bacteria in saliva and is almost as effective as brushing your teeth. Apples also help reduce bacteria and acid levels in the mouth, thereby reducing the risk of tooth decay and yellowing.
Strawberry
A study published in the journal Padjadjaran Dentistry found that strawberry juice has a whitening effect on teeth due to its ellagic acid, malic acid, and hydrogen peroxide content. A notable benefit is that strawberry juice contains less hydrogen peroxide than teeth whitening products, thereby reducing the risk of enamel damage.
Fragrant
Pineapple is not only rich in vitamin C and manganese, but also contains antioxidants and enzymes that can aid digestion, boost immunity and reduce inflammation in the body. In particular, pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which has the effect of whitening teeth.
Bromelain has been shown to not cause tooth sensitivity like products with hydrogen peroxide. This is because bromelain does not damage tooth enamel.
Celery
Celery is a crunchy vegetable and has a high fiber content. When we eat celery, we have to chew more. This chewing action will stimulate saliva secretion, neutralize acid in the mouth, help clean teeth, prevent yellowing and protect tooth enamel.
Broccoli
Similar to celery, chewing on a high-fiber vegetable like broccoli will help your mouth produce more saliva, which protects and prevents yellowing of tooth enamel. Not only that, broccoli is also rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, kaempferol, sulforaphane, and beta-carotene. All of which have anti-gingivitis and periodontal disease effects, according to Healthline .
