This great tasting snack contains a huge amount of Vitamin C. But the real tooth strengthening benefits come from Manganese, which is found in high quantities in pineapple.

There is one important item to note. The high acid level of pineapple along with the sweetness of added honey means that you shouldn’t neglect your regular brushing routine just because the nutrients in this smoothie are good for your teeth. Of course, you’re careful to brush twice a day for at least two minutes, right?
