It’s Watermelon Day!!!
Sometimes referred to as nature’s toothbrush, watermelon is a great food choice when it comes to taking care of your teeth. Naturally high in vitamin C, watermelon is a powerful antioxidant which helps prevent gum disease while working to inhibit the formation of tartar and plaque on your teeth. The high water content in watermelon triggers the production of saliva which cleanses your mouth of food particles and bacteria and as a bonus, it is naturally rich in fiber, which means it scrubs your teeth as you eat.
While it isn’t a replacement for regular brushing, eating watermelon is an easy and enjoyable way to support healthy teeth and gums.
So while the warmth of summer is still upon us, grab a slice of this cool, refreshing fruit and enjoy all the benefits it has to offer.
