Oranges and pineapples contain an enzyme called bromelain, which acts like a natural stain remover. Research shows that bromelain can help break up plaque, and plaque can lead to some serious tooth decay if it isn't kept in check.![Strawberries]()
Malic acid is the stain fighter in strawberries that can help your teeth stay that alluring shade of ivory. A fun way to boost their stain-fighting power is to mash up a couple of strawberries, smear them across your teeth, let them sit for a few minutes, and then brush. Just make sure to get all the seeds out from in between your teeth.![Carrots, Celery, and Apples]()
