The Super Bowl is just days away.  Are you ready for the big game?  A Super Bowl party relies on two things: good snacks and great football.  However, not all snacks are created equal and as the saying goes "you are what you eat," when it comes to teeth, "you are what you chew."  Keep this in mind when you're deciding what snacks to chow down on.  There are actually certain foods that naturally whiten, brighten, and defend your teeth against bacteria.  Ditch the chips and opt for one of the following foods:
  1. Pineapples: can help whiten teeth and act as a natural stain remover.
  2. Ginger: supports healthy mouth tissue by acting as an inflammatory.
  3. Carrots: promote healthy tooth enamel and contain vitamin A.
  4. Basil: reduces bacteria in the mouth.
  5. Cheese: helps to buffer acid in the mouth.  It is also a good source of protein.
  6. Sesame Seeds: help to scrub away plaque build up on teeth.
  7. Shitaki Mushrooms: contain a compound that inhibits bacteria from growing in the mouth.
  8. Onions: reduce bacteria and tooth decay.
  9. Salmon: provides vitamin D which is needed for strong bones.
  10. Broccoli: protects the enamel on your teeth.
