Perhaps it was on a recent camping trip. Perhaps it was right after lunch, on a day when\u00a0you were headed into an important business meeting. Regardless of when it was, you knew that\u00a0<strong>a fresh, sparkling smile would bring the comfort and\/or confidence\u00a0you needed.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<h4>Certain types of foods can help you in a pinch.<\/h4>\n<h3><strong>Introducing Nature\u2019s Tooth Scrubbers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> Scrubber foods naturally clean your teeth\u2013not perfectly, but enough to help you smile with confidence. As you chew scrubber foods they remove plaque and leftover particles from other foods you\u2019ve eaten. They\u00a0also increase saliva flow, which helps clean your mouth as well. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Most Scrubbers Are Crisp, Firm, And High In Fiber<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4>Here are a few\u00a0common scrubber foods:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Apples<\/li>\n<li>Celery<\/li>\n<li>Radishes<\/li>\n<li>Carrots<\/li>\n<li>Broccoli<\/li>\n<li>Cucumbers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> All of these foods are excellent at freshening your mouth. Use them at the end of a meal or after a snack. <strong>Remember that these foods cannot be used as a\u00a0replacement for brushing and flossing.<\/strong> But, they <em>can<\/em> be little helpers until you get to your toothbrush. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Try It Yourself!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> Try finishing up meals with scrubber foods instead of sweets and let us know if you notice the difference. You may never go back! Do you know of another great\u00a0scrubber food that we haven\u2019t mentioned?
