Teeth-friendly Fruits & Vegetables No. 3: Kiwi

Mothers want to purchase the best fruits and vegetables for their families. Growing boys and girls have powerful appetites, but they need teeth-friendly foods to keep them healthy. Here is why the kiwi is a tooth-friendly fruit.

Kiwi Attributes

Mother’s should love the fact that a kiwi fruit has its own protective covering. It is easy to place in a child’s lunch pail with other fruits and vegetables. Its small size and softness are ideal for children who want a tasty little snack.  Orthodontists love the benefits of kiwi due to vitamin C, beta-carotene and antioxidants. These nutrients are essential for creating a strong immune system. Here are some of the benefits of kiwi nutrients:

• Fight Bacteria
• Protect DNA
• Assist Respiratory System

Vitamin C coats your child’s gums to prevent bacteria from harming their mouth. Vitamin C also works with calcium to strengthen your bones. Due to all of these benefits, kiwis are great teeth-friendly fruits.
