The
blueberry is one of those super fruits that packs so many health benefits in
one tiny berry. Blueberries are teeming with vitamins and minerals that
maintain your immune system, repair damaged tissues, and help with digestion. Here are just a few reasons to eat
blueberries.
Blueberries
have an impressive amount of vitamin C in them (and we all know how important
vitamin C is, right?) Vitamin C is a big player in keeping your immune system
functioning at optimal levels. The high level of anti-oxidants provides skin rejuvenation,
protection against age-related memory loss, and cancer protection.
So what
could possibly be a downfall from eating blueberries? THEY STAIN YOUR TEETH! The
high pigmentation of blueberries as well as the acidity they have both
contribute to wearing away tooth enamel and staining teeth. Brushing right
after eating blueberries seems like the right thing to do but it can actually
damage your teeth more. The acid from blueberries weakens tooth enamel so when
you brush it’s so abrasive that you’re just brushing away your enamel forever!
The Remedy: Don’t stop eating blueberries
(their nutritional benefits are too important!)
Instead,
rinse your mouth out with water after eating blueberries to neutralize the
acid. If you want your teeth whiter, whiten your teeth! Our office offers two
types of whitening products:
- Opalescence Trés White Supreme, prefilled and disposable whitening trays.
- Opalescence PF Take-Home System, a customized bleaching tray which provides a snug fit on your teeth.
