Dental 4 Less – Food and Dental Health
Six types of Food that may be bad for your teeth.
1) Carbohydrates: Chips, bread, pasta, or crackers can be as harmful to the teeth as candy.
2) Sticky, chewy foods: Raisins, granola bars, jelly beans, caramel, honey, and syrup stick to teeth and make it difficult to wash the sugar away
3) Sugary snacks: Cookies, cakes, or other desserts contain a high amount of sugar, which can cause tooth decay.
4) Gum and candy: When chewing gum and eating candy, the sugar coats teeth, which can lead to cavities.
5) Carbonated soft drinks: Regular and diet sodas contain phosphorous and carbonation, which wears away the enamel on teeth.
6) Fruit or vegetable juices: These beverages are high in sugar, damaging tooth enamel and leading to decay.
With moderation and proper dental care, you reduce the harmful effects these foods can have on your teeth.
