Stimulating your saliva production can help reduce the buildup of plaque deposits, reducing your risk for cavities. Pears stimulate saliva production plus they contain a significant amount of water which, when chosen as a snack over highly acidic foods, will help reduce the risk of enamel damage. When you need “that little sweet” after a meal, nothing beats a pear.
