Why Apples Are the Best Midday Snack for Your Smile


Most people know about the nutritional benefits of eating fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples. However, many people do not know that an apple can be very good for their oral health, too!
Check out this video to learn why apples make such a tooth-friendly snack. You’ll find out how the nutrients in an apple benefit your teeth and how the fruit’s texture can keep your teeth clean between meals.  Worried about the glycemic index of an apple?  Never fear! Combine it with a piece of cheese to balance things out. Cheese products contain calcium and phosphorous—two substances that are essential to healthy tooth enamel. In addition, hard cheeses can apply a coating over the teeth, which can protect them against the effects of teeth-staining foods and beverages like coffee.
