What fruit is called Nature's Toothbrush?

Apples have long been considered "nature's toothbrush" because their thick skins and fibrous flesh are just the right texture for the natural brushing of the teeth. In this way, the old nickname holds true. The natural fiber and thick skin act as something like a scrubbing brush to rid your teeth of plaque and build-up.

The long and the short of it is that apples are exceptional foods for you teeth and gums and for your overall health, packed with nutrients, vitamins, and fiber to give you energy and with teeth-brushing texture. Additionally, the high water content in apples keeps your mouth hydrated, which helps to reduce the risk of cavities.

While apples are not technically natural toothbrushes, they can be used in place of one in a pinch. Apples are a good source of malic acid, which is known to help remove stains from teeth. They also contain fiber, which can help scrub away plaque.
