It might sound odd but eating a piece of cheese after meal times is one of the best and easiest ways to protect your teeth. Of course, eating cheese is no substitute for an excellent oral health regime, but as an aid it can help bring immediate results - here’s how:
1.PROTECT
Teeth and bones are very much alike, so the calcium, phosphorus and protein found naturally in dairy foods - such as cheese 0 are just as important for teeth as they are for your bones.
2.RESTORE
The nutrients in cheese can help block the build up of acid on your teeth, which occurs naturally after eating sugary foods.
3.REBUILD
The combination of protein (casein), phosphorus and calcium in cheese may actually help put minerals back into the teeth.
4.WASH
Consuming cheese (especially a little piece after meals) stimulates saliva, which can help reduce dental problems. Saliva helps wash away any acids left on your teeth after eating.
5.BRIGHTEN
The protein called casein found in dairy products strengthens tooth enamel. Since enamel protects the dentin the layer that determines tooth colour), healthy dentin means bright, white teeth!
Cheddar is best, because it contains the highest level of alkali whereas soft cheese like brie or feta won’t have as much of an effect. Only a tiny piece is needed and is a great way to improve the health of your teeth quickly and easily, without having to leave the dinner table.
