Celery

Celery acts as a natural toothbrush, cleaning your teeth and massaging your gums to promote gum health. It also eliminates bacteria that cause tooth decay and removes plaque buildup. Celery is rich in chlorophyll and has a distinct aroma, making it an effective remedy for bad breath. Try blending celery to create a mouthwash for daily use.

Shiitake Mushrooms

Shiitake mushrooms contain compounds with antibacterial and antiviral properties, reducing the number of harmful microorganisms in the mouth without affecting beneficial oral bacteria. Incorporating shiitake mushrooms into your daily diet can help prevent gum inflammation and bleeding gums. Lentinan, a type of sugar found in these mushrooms, does not cause tooth decay and effectively prevents plaque buildup.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil contains lauric acid, a neutral fat that removes bacteria and sticky stains from teeth. Additionally, the antioxidants in coconut oil inhibit streptococcus, the bacteria responsible for tooth decay and gum disease.

Carrots

Carrots are nature’s toothbrush, scraping away plaque and food particles from teeth. They also stimulate gum tissue and promote saliva production, a natural alkaline that balances the formation of acid and bacteria in the mouth.
