You can't do without a good brushing because you ate an apple, but the juice of this fruit has properties that kill up to 80% of the germs that cause caries. Apples are also a type of natural toothbrush because, when you bite and chew them, the amount of saliva increases, helping to reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth. That's why some dentists recommend giving apples to children who eat a lot of sweets. Thus, teeth and gums are better protected.
