Eating crunchy carrots may be able to help you maintain strong, healthy teeth. One published study evaluated the rate of tooth-loss in an elderly Japanese population. Researchers found that a higher intake of beta carotene is protective against dental issues. The study suggests that a dietary pattern that is high in carrots, squash, leafy greens, and lower in rice, is beneficial for the retention of teeth despite a lack of proper dental care.
