White, sparkling teeth are commonly at the top of the wish list of cosmetic dentistry procedures. Patients will come into Dr. Kurt Schneider’s office looking for the latest procedures to achieve the brightest smiles possible. In addition to speaking with Dr. Schneider about procedures to whiten your teeth, there are also some foods that you can eat to help whiten your smile.
Through this health and wellness article from the Boston Globe, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry reports that certain foods protect your teeth against bacteria, whiten your teeth, and cleanse your smile. Some of these “power” foods include:
- Pineapples
- Ginger
- Cheese
- Basil
- Onions

- Broccoli
- Shiitake Mushrooms
