New studies show that dark chocolate is effective at fighting cavities, plaque and tooth decay. Dark chocolate is a good source of polyphenols, natural chemicals that can limit oral bacteria.

Dental amalgam
Dental amalgam is a dental filling material used to fill cavities caused by tooth decay.Dental amalgam is a mixture of metals, consisting of liquid (elemental) mercury and a powdered alloy composed of silver, tin, and copper. Approximately half (50%) of dental amalgam is elemental mercury by weight. The chemical properties of elemental mercury allow it to react with and bind together the silver/copper/tin alloy particles to form an amalgam. Dental amalgam fillings are often referred to as “silver fillings” because of their silver-like appearance, although the use of this term in not recommended because the term does not correctly explain the materials in amalgam.

HPV
HPV can infect the mouth and throat and cause cancers of the oropharynx (back of the throat, including the base of the tongue and tonsils). This is called oropharyngeal cancer. HPV is thought to cause 70% of oropharyngeal cancers in the United States.

Lemon juice
Good evening my dear insta friends Lemon juice, like many fruit juices, is acidic. This means when we drink it, it can cause enamel erosion on our teeth. In fact, the tart substance has a pH level of 2-3, putting it firmly in the realm of acidic drinks. Liquids with a pH level under four have been proven to negatively impact our oral health. Enjoy in moderation.

Cheese is great for your teeth
Cheese is great for your teeth. Not only does it have high levels of phosphate and calcium, which naturally strengthen teeth and bones, but it also helps balance the pH level in your mouth, which means less harmful acid, more cleansing saliva and fewer cavities.
