Experts have long recognized the benefits of mushrooms in promoting dental and bone health. For instance, the lentinan polysaccharide found in shiitake mushrooms helps to inhibit harmful bacteria in the mouth, reducing plaque formation and preventing cavities. Additionally, shiitakes are a rich source of ergosterol, a compound that converts into vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. This vitamin is essential for building strong bones and teeth, especially in children. Each 100 grams of dried shiitake mushrooms contain about 7.8 grams of dietary fiber, acting like a natural toothbrush during chewing. The mechanical action helps clean teeth and reduce plaque buildup.
Mushrooms also offer a fresh, aromatic scent due to compounds like guanosine, which can help freshen breath. Moreover, they are packed with vitamin C, which has antibacterial properties that protect against oral infections. Similarly, celery is beneficial for dental health because its high fiber content helps scrape away bacteria from teeth while chewing. Chewing fibrous foods stimulates saliva production, which helps maintain a balanced pH level in the mouth, reducing the risk of decay.
When it comes to maintaining a healthy mouth, cheese plays a key role. Its high phosphate content helps neutralize acids in the mouth, making it harder for bacteria to thrive. Cheese is also rich in calcium, which supports strong teeth and bones in both children and adults. Surprisingly, raisins are another surprising ally for dental health. According to research, they contain compounds such as oleanolic acid and betulin, which act as natural antioxidants and help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and periodontitis.
In traditional Chinese medicine, raisins are believed to clear heat and detoxify the body, helping to prevent "fire teeth" or mouth sores. They are also considered nourishing and beneficial for overall health. What makes raisins particularly tooth-friendly is their natural sweetness, derived from fructose and glucose rather than sucrose, which is known to harm dental health. So, those who love snacks can enjoy raisins without worrying about damaging their teeth.
Other foods, such as onions, mustard, and mint, also have antibacterial properties that help fight harmful germs in the mouth. These natural remedies not only support oral hygiene but also contribute to a healthier lifestyle. Whether through mushrooms, cheese, or raisins, there are many delicious ways to keep your teeth and gums in great shape. ——Midi Medical Network
