Yogurt, not just a delicious snack!
Did you know that yogurt is not only good for your digestive tract, but has benefits for your oral health as well? According to the Journal of Periodontology (2008), studies show that eating yogurt on a daily basis can lower your risk for tooth loss and gum disease. The probiotics 
in this dairy treat help to promote proper pH balance of the environment of your mouth. Cavities thrive in an acidic environment; therefore, maintaining a well balanced pH is helpful in preventing decay. Yogurt’s not only has a high calcium content that helps to strengthen the enamel of your teeth, but also has neutralizing qualities that lessen odor causing compounds of bad breath.
The next time you are craving a sweet snack, try a yogurt instead!
