Cheese

A piece of Swiss or cheddar cheese before a meal can have a beneficial effect on your oral health because it will neutralize the acids that cause tartar and prevent it from building up on your teeth.

In addition to these you should always:

– Brush your teeth with a soft brush in a vertical movement. Always clean the space between the gums and teeth.

– Before you go to bed rub your teeth with an orange peel and don’t rinse. This will prevent bacteria from multiplying and protect your teeth during the night.
