1. Spinach

Spinach is a great choice for anyone who wants to keep their teeth strong and healthy. Spinach is rich in folic acid, iron, and vitamins A and C, which help keep your teeth strong.

2. Milk, Cheese and Yogurt

Vitamin D-rich dairy products can help build strong bones. Consuming milk, cheese or yogurt can reduce acid levels in the mouth and reduce the risk of tooth enamel erosion.

3. Garlic

Not only does garlic add flavor to food, but it can also keep your mouth (and tooth enamel) healthy. Garlic contains allicin, which helps reduce the growth of bacteria in the mouth. This also ensures that the polish stays strong for longer.
