Brush your teeth regularly, drink water throughout the day, and visit your dentist for regular professional cleanings and teeth whitening. It would be a good choice to have foods that can clear your teeth naturally from debris that cause staining.

The Foods That Keep Your Teeth Clean 

The common foods that help in keeping your teeth clean are:

• Apples can help in scrubbing away the debris from the surface of the tooth enamel.
• Strawberries and pineapples contain bromelain, which is considered a natural stain-buster.
• Broccoli and cauliflower contribute to the production of saliva while scrubbing teeth simultaneously. Broccoli also has a high content of iron, which makes your tooth enamel strong.
• Cheese contains lots of calcium, fortifies enamel, and also helps in promoting saliva production, which can wash away food particles that can stain enamel.
• Water is an essential factor that contributes to a healthy, radiant smile. You should consume water frequently throughout the day as it cleans and strengthens teeth against the buildup of plaque leading to discoloration and other problems.
