Do strawberries make your teeth whiter?

Like most old wives tale there is an element of truth in that strawberries can whiten teeth. The reason is that the acid inside the strwberry cleans your teeth from dark stains and gives the appearance of white teeth. But the problem of using strawberries to whiten your teeth is the acid may damage the enamel. This can reveal the dentin in your teeth which is made from a yellow substance. The seed in the straeberry can also scratch your teeth and causes further damage.
