Celery is not just for your favorite bunny pet; it is considered a superfood for the smile. Its water content promotes saliva production which helps wash away leftover foods and harmful bacterias in the mouth, thereby halting tooth decay. Since it is high in vitamin K2, it keeps the bones and the teeth healthy. Moreover, the overall health can also benefit from this crunchy vegetable as it is the source of essential nutrients like vitamin C and folic acid
We at Hudson Oaks Family Dentistry believes that preventions are always better than cure. Apart from setting an appointment with us for your Cleanings & Checkups needs, we also have provided recipes that will help you keep your teeth as healthy as possible using only one salad staple, celery.
The Classic. Waldorf salad is simple, yet it tastes good when eaten during lunch, whether as an appetizer or a side dish. The juicy and crunchy celery and pears are great in removing food debris from the teeth and scraping off plaques. The strong creamy cheese called stilton and walnuts sprinkled in the salad are also a good pair. But it is not about the taste! The nuts actually have a load of benefits to the teeth as it contains nutrients like calcium and phosphorous.
The Tasty. In this kind of salad, it makes use of the slightly sweet fennel and whole stalks of celery. But what brings these vegetables to life is the lemon juice dressing drizzled on top of the salad. It is a light, nutritious, and a staple side dish. However, do not forget to rinse the mouth with water after eating as the lemon may be acidic enough for the teeth.
The Fancy. The bright colored orange fruit, when added to your celery and mackerel salad, will make it look more fancy and yummy! The vitamin C from oranges as well as, magnesium and phosphorus from the fish are all good for the oral health.
Eating healthy foods is only one of the so many ways to achieve a healthy mouth, teeth, and gums. Proper hygiene, professional teeth cleaning, and regular dental checkups must still be done apart from munching sticks of raw celery!
