Eat yogurt for a healthy smile

Is your smile looking, shall we say, less than healthy these days? If so, regular brushing and flossing may not be enough. That's where yogurt comes in.

Yes, the same yogurt you usually eat as a healthy snack; evidently, yogurt eaters are less likely to suffer from gum disease and tooth loss. According to RealAge.com, researchers speculate that the bacteria in yogurt helps protect teeth and gums by balancing out the bad bacteria in your mouth, similar to the way they do in your digestive system.
