FOODS THAT CAN HELP IN TEETH WHITENING

1. Apples

Apples crispiness strengthens gums, and their high water content increases saliva production, and saliva is extremely important for teeth whitening as it helps in stain removal.

2. Oranges and pineapples

While pineapple contain a compound called Bromelain which is present in many types of toothpaste which are known for stain removal. Bromelain also acts as a anti-inflammatory agent apart from working as a teeth whitening agent. Eating oranges and pineapples may cause the mouth to produce more saliva, which washes teeth clean naturally. DO NOT use lemons directly on
teeth, because too much acidity can damage teeth.

3. Strawberries
   They contain malic acid which acts as a natural astringent to remove
surface tooth discoloration. Mash up strawberries and rub them on your
teeth. Leave for five minutes then rinse with water and brush and floss as usual.

4. Cheese

preventing tooth decay. Plus, most cheeses are near colorless, meaning they won't stain your teeth.

6. Yogurt And Milk

7. Celery And Carrots
