5 Foods That Whiten Your Teeth
Wayne NJ Dentist Shares the Top 5 Teeth Whitening Foods
What is the number one most requested cosmetic dentistry service in the United States?
According to an American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry AACD® national survey, it’s teeth whitening.
Here’s a few more dazzling dental-centric statistics to show off next time you’re engaged in an intense game of Dental Health Trivial Pursuit:
- Virtually all adults (99.7%) believe a smile is an important social asset.
- 96% of adults believe an attractive smile makes a person more appealing to members of the opposite sex.
- Three-quarters (74%) of adults feel an unattractive smile can hurt a person’s chances for career success.
And when respondents were asked, “What would you most like to improve about your smile?”
The most common response was: “Whiter & Brighter Teeth.”
Are we just pursuing trivial dental info?
We all see the value of teeth whitening, and we all know a brighter whiter smile communicates optimal oral health, but did you know there are certain foods out there that can help us attain that shiny new anchorperson smile?
We didn’t either, until seeing this USA Today article entitled; “Naturally whiten your teeth with the right diet.”
