10 Benefits of Green Apples
Green Apple Benefit #9: Enhancing Dental Health
Some professionals think that a more appropriate phrase for apples would be, “an apple a day keeps the dentist away.” Apples are known to enhance the production of saliva in the mouth. Saliva is important for our dental health because it helps fight off harmful bacteria and can reduce the chance of developing oral infections.
Apples are also fairly abrasive and chewing them can actually help to scrape plaque off your teeth. If you don’t clean the plaque from your teeth regularly, it can build up and lead to dental problems.
