Chocolate Can Actually Be Good For Your Teeth

                       


If you are going for Chocolate, think Dark.

Yes, dark chocolate can prevent tooth decay. The cocoa beans found in dark chocolates is the good stuff. It has tannins, polyphenols and flavonoids, which are antioxidants that all benefit your mouth and teeth. They do this by preventing bacteria from sticking to your teeth, neutralizing the microorganisms that cause bad breath, preventing infections in your gums, and battling tooth decay. 

You cannot just eat any chocolate though, since the sugars added to some will effectively offset all of these great effects.  Dark chocolate is the least processed and is the closest to cocoa beans. This is why it is the healthiest option.

You can find tooth-friendly dark chocolate at most grocery stores, and most show their cocoa percentage clearly on the label (the higher the percentage, the better it is for your teeth). As dark chocolates contain less sugar than other chocolates it is better for your weight too. Just keep a check on portions of dark chocolate you eat.

  3. chocolate can prevent tooth decay. However, not every kind of chocolate is dental dynamite. The cocoa bean is what houses the good stuff -- not the chocolate itself -- so the closer the confection is to the bean, the better.

  5. The introduction provides a balanced overview of the current understanding of the relationship between chocolate and oral health. It correctly states that chocolate has traditionally been thought to be detrimental to teeth, but that recent research suggests certain types of chocolate may have benefits.
