Because plaque is such a dangerous ingredient to our teeth, it is essential to eat foods that can help remove it. Foods with high water content, such as pears and apples are good for maintaining your teeth. The fruits and vegetables that have a high-water content and a crunchy texture are perfect for cleaning plaque from your teeth. You may want to consider seeking out foods that increase saliva output, since saliva is key to your oral health.
