Pro tip: Floss before brushing to help dislodge debris and enhance the effectiveness of brushing.
đĽŹÂ Nutrition: Feed Your Teeth from the Inside
What you eat has a direct impact on your oral health. The right foods can strengthen your teeth and gums, while the wrong ones can accelerate decay.
Foods to focus on:
Leafy greens (like spinach and kale): Rich in calcium and vitamin K
Crunchy fruits and vegetables (such as apples, carrots, celery): Stimulate saliva and scrub your teeth naturally
Wheatgrass and barley grass: Help detoxify and restore mineral balance
Avoid:
Sugary snacks and processed foodsâthey nourish harmful bacteria and create acids that wear down enamel.

Peppermint: Antibacterial and breath-freshening

Tooth enamel, the hard outer layer of your teeth, has an amazing ability to heal itself when given the right support. With a few natural, science-backed habits, you can help your teeth remineralize and stay strongânaturally.
1. Eat for Strong Enamel
Your teeth need minerals to stay healthy, and a nutrient-rich diet is the first step toward prevention and repair.
Focus on:
Calcium (cheese, yogurt, almonds): Strengthens enamel.
Vitamin D (sunlight, fatty fish, egg yolks): Boosts calcium absorption.
Magnesium (leafy greens, nuts, seeds): Works alongside calcium.
Phosphorus (eggs, fish, lentils): Helps rebuild tooth structure.
Avoid sugary snacks, sodas, and processed foodsâthey feed bacteria and erode enamel.
2. Try Oil Pulling
Oil pulling is a traditional method that helps remove bacteria and toxins from the mouth.
How to do it:
Swish 1 tablespoon of organic coconut oil in your mouth for 10â15 minutes, spit it out (donât swallow!), rinse, and brush. Repeat daily for best results.
Coconut oil is naturally antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, making it a gentle oral detox.
3. Use a Natural Toothpaste
Swap harsh, chemical-laden toothpaste for one that supports enamel repair.
Look for:
Hydroxyapatite: A natural mineral that restores microscopic enamel damage.
Calcium carbonate and baking soda: Gently clean and neutralize acids.
Great for those avoiding fluoride or seeking a gentler alternative.
4. DIY Mineral Mouthwash
Support your enamel with a simple homemade rinse.
Recipe:
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp baking soda
1 cup warm filtered water
Optional: 2 drops of clove or peppermint essential oil
Swish for 30â60 seconds once or twice daily for added mineral support.
5. Try Herbal Remedies
Nature offers powerful tools to protect your mouth.
Clove oil: Fights bacteria and soothes pain.
Neem and licorice root: Help reduce plaque and boost gum health.
Chew the herbs or apply diluted clove oil as needed.
6. Stay Hydrated
Saliva protects your enamel by washing away acids and bacteria. Drink water, chew xylitol gum, and avoid alcohol, smoking, and too much caffeine.
Final Thought:
With the right habits, you can help your body protect and repair your teeth naturally. A healthy smile starts from within!
