Oral Hygiene Tips | St. George Preventive Dentistry
Small daily habits like brushing, flossing, and smart nutrition protect your teeth and gums. With guidance from SmileArt Utah, your St. George cosmetic and preventive dental experts, you can prevent problems before they start.
Foods That Keep Your Smile Strong
Food fuels your smile. Choosing nutrient-dense options helps strengthen enamel, support gums, and stimulate cleansing saliva.
- Calcium + Phosphorus: cheese, yogurt, tofu, almonds, salmon → rebuild and protect enamel.
- Crunchy produce (natural scrubbers): apples, carrots, celery → boost saliva and gently clean teeth.
- Leafy greens: spinach, kale, arugula → vitamins A, C, and K support gum tissue.
- Polyphenols: tea and berries → help reduce harmful oral bacteria.
- Water (best beverage): fluoridated water neutralizes acids and rinses food debris.
- Xylitol as a swap: sugar-free gum or mints with xylitol lower cavity risk after meals.
By making smart food choices every day, you can strengthen your teeth naturally and reduce your risk of cavities without extra treatments.
