cavities. The most recommend foods for cleaning the teeth are fresh
vegetables and fruits. Fruits such as apples require lot of chewing while eating, that clean the
teeth surface naturally. Vegetables like, cucumber, broccoli,
cauliflower, carrots, celery and Peas provide the same action as that of

crunchy fruits and vegetables boost the secretion of saliva in the
mouth, leaving the mouth fresh and clean.
