Fiber Cleans Your Teeth While You Chew

Posted on 7/12/2021 by Matthew Martin

Eating a diet high in fiber is a common suggestion from your general health care professional. However, did you ever imagine that we would suggest the same thing? While fiber benefits your body, you will also have a healthier mouth and cleaner teeth if you eat foods that contain fiber.

There are two types of fiber. Soluble fiber breaks down in water and forms a substance that helps your body. Insoluble fiber does not break down in water. This type of fiber pushes food and waste through your body. Fiber is important to your body as well as your teeth, but did you know that fiber-rich foods also clean your teeth?

What Foods Can Clean my Teeth?

Food that contains the most fiber are found on the perimeter of the grocery store. Fruits and vegetables have high amounts of fiber. When you eat fruits and vegetables, your body produces saliva. The saliva in your mouth cleans your teeth by rinsing off food particles. In addition, eating foods that contain fiber clean your teeth while you eat them. Fiber rich foods sweep away debris as you chew them.

In addition to the cleaning benefits of fiber rich foods, they also contain vital nutrients. Many vitamins and minerals are found in fruits and vegetables. Eating fruits and vegetables cleans your teeth and nourishes your body.

Make Your Appointment

It is critical to eat healthy foods for good health. Raw produce, high quality dairy, and clean protein are excellent choices for your body and your mouth. In addition, it is important to maintain good oral health. We recommend coming to our office twice a year for a dental cleaning and exam. We can advise you on how to take care of your teeth and be proactive about keeping your beautiful smile for many years.
