It seems that eating cheese prevents cavities.
Most cheese packs a powerful mass of calcium.
Scientific studies show cheese neutralizes the acid in your mouth and actually helps rebuild tooth enamel. It s very high in calcium. It s very high in phosphates and as a consequence, they have a potential to actually remineralize the tooth surfaces under the proper circumstances, says dentist Bill Hallmon. Cheese and other milk products stabilize pH levels in the mouth. They act as buffers, which explains why the French eat cheese at the end of a meal.
