Eat Fish for Healthier Teeth

Hi I'm Doctor Ross with a tip: keep you pearly whites healthy. Sure you've got to brush and floss, but you should also eat fish. In one study people who ate the highest amount of Omega 3 fatty acids found in fish, were less likely to have gum disease. That's because there're two types of Omega 3 fats found abundantly in cold water fish like salmon and sardines.

Researchers think that Omega 3 fats may help to calm oral inflammations and infections, that means less tissue breakdown and better oral health. You'll need a moderate amount of fish to reap the benefits. Any per two servings a week of salmon, mackerel, herring or albacore tuna. You want more ways to boost your health?
