Teeth-friendly Fruits & Vegetables No. 10: Pineapples
Last Updated on June 23, 2015 by Guest Post
It’s important to take care of your teeth before and after braces to ensure a winning smile. One of the best ways of taking care of your teeth involves eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables on a regular basis. When it comes to teeth-friendly fruits & vegetables, pineapple can’t be beat for its delicious flavor and health benefits.
Health Benefits of Pineapple
Pineapple has long been praised for its healing powers, which is why people are often encouraged to eat it just before and after surgery in order to make recovery go much smoother. Dentists recommend it for patients undergoing oral surgery as often as doctors who are performing procedures on other areas of the body do.
One of the reasons why pineapple aids with healing is the fact that it helps the body create collagen. Collagen is an essential protein used to form the basis for bones, blood vessel walls, and skin.
Other Health Benefits of Pineapple
There are other benefits aside from healing powers that can be enjoyed from eating pineapple. A few of these unique benefits include:
• Easing inflammation, which can be especially important for anyone suffering from gum disease
• Strengthening the bones, which in turn helps strengthen teeth
• Preventing oral cancers
• Fighting infections that might occur in the mouth and gums
• Improving circulation for healthier gums
Pineapple benefits teeth best when it is eaten fresh without any added sugars or syrups. Although fresh pineapple is best, some benefits can still be enjoyed from eating canned pineapple as well.
Eating the right fruits and vegetables is just as important as any other aspect of dental care. If you’re interested in straightening your teeth, or would like to learn more ways to help keep them healthy, contact Manhattan Beach Orthodontics at 310-379-0006.

Dr Patti Panucci attended the University of Louisville School of Dentistry for four years, where she graduated with a DMD degree (May 2000) among the Top 10 in her class. Following that, she headed west to Los Angeles to complete her three-year residency at one of the top-ranked orthodontic programs in the country – the University of Southern California.
Along with her certificate in orthodontics, Dr. Panucci earned a master’s degree in craniofacial biology. During those three years, she fell in love with Southern California beach life and decided that this was where her future lay.
