Food is a necessity, but you can get creative with your meals and try something new. The following recipe is simple enough for any day, and it has oral-enhancing ingredients to top it off.

The following ingredients make this bruschetta a dental-friendly delight:

Raw Honey

The recipe calls for a little raw honey. Raw honey is different from regular honey, as it has not been altered in any way. Raw honey should add a touch of tanginess to your cauliflower topping that should be a great addition. You can purchase raw honey online, at a farmer's market, or in your local health food store. You want this type of honey in your recipe because it contains several antibacterial properties. For example, the enzymes in this type of honey should help stop bacterial reproduction. In addition, the natural osmotic nature of raw honey will dehydrate harmful bacteria to death.

Aged Cheese

The next ingredient that you want to pay attention to is the type of cheese that you purchase. You can get any type of aged cheese that you prefer, just make sure it is aged. Aged cheese contains a vitamin that is overlooked called vitamin K2. This is a very special vitamin that your body uses to identify areas in your body that need calcium. That means your body can rectify any bacterial attacks on your teeth by remineralizing them.

Fermented Vegetables

The last thing ingredient in this recipe you want to pay attention to is your fermented vegetables. Fermented vegetables resemble pickles, except that they are filled with probiotics. Probiotics is the reason you want to add fermented veggies to this recipe. Probiotics feed on the harmful bacteria in your mouth. You can purchase fermented vegetables in your local health food store or farmer's market.

Remember that these ingredients are not meant to cure any dental ailments. You will need to leave that to your dentist. The aforementioned ingredients are preventative measures and should protect you from oral ailments.
