Some Crunch Foods are Good For Your Teeth

Written by Dr. Holly Nadji • Dec 6 • 1 minute read

When we think of crunchy foods, we often imagine chips or hard candies that can damage our teeth. But not all crunch is bad news—in fact, some crunchy foods are great for your oral health!

Healthy Crunch, Healthy Smile:

1. Apples
Nature’s toothbrush! Apples help scrub away plaque and stimulate saliva, which naturally cleans your teeth.

2. Carrots
Crunchy and packed with vitamin A, carrots help strengthen tooth enamel and keep gums healthy.

3. Celery
This stringy veggie acts like a natural floss, helping clean between teeth while also boosting saliva production.

4. Almonds
Low in sugar and high in calcium, almonds provide a satisfying crunch that supports strong teeth and bones.

A Bonus Benefit:

Crunchy fruits and veggies usually require a lot of chewing—this helps keep your jaw strong and your bite healthy!
