Some food can highly contribute to the wear and tear of your pearl white teeth. Most people think that sugar cause cavity, but the real culprit is the bacteria in your mouth. The bacteria burn sugar in your mouth and leave acid by-product, which dissolves the tooth enamel and causes cavities.
Cavities are the most common dental disease for people aged six to nineteen years. They cause chewing problem, pain, and you might lose your tooth if not treated properly. Moreover, plaque is also very common, and if you are not brushing regularly, then it will get harder and turn into tartar. Tartar above the gums will cause gingivitis.
Brushing and flossing is one way to stop these diseases. Besides them, you can avoid or limit these foods to keep away from these diseases.
Candies are the first thing that you should limit to be safe from cavities and tooth decay. Chewy candies get stuck to the teeth, and they are hard to remove, which give bacteria more time to feed and emit acidic by-products in your mouth. Some people think that hard candies can substitute chewy candies, but it’s not true.
Hard candies take about 10 minutes to dissolve, and they constantly release sugar into your mouth. Moreover, biting at the wrong angle can cause a chip or crack in the tooth.
These drinks are good when drank moderately and with low sugar. Because they can leave a nice brown shade on your teeth, and excessive sugar and syrups in the drinks will cause tooth damage. So, evade them as much as you can and drink the old-fashioned water.
Nothing good comes in “soda”, even if the word “Diet” is mentioned on the pack. Carbonated drinks allow plaque to create more acid to attack tooth enamel. So, if you are drinking all day, then you are coating your teeth with more acid. Moreover, it dries your mouth and drinking dark coloured carbonated drinks can cause discoloured or stained teeth.
We all know that Alcohol is not suitable for health, and you must have noticed that your mouth dries out when to drink alcohol. A dry mouth lacks saliva, and saliva is necessary for healthy teeth. It prevents food from sticking to gums & teeth and washes away food particles. Saliva also plays a productive role in curing early tooth decays, gum disease and oral infections. So, stay hydrated and use fluoride toothpaste and mouthwashes.
Water in liquid form is good, but frozen water can cause significant damage to teeth. Chewing hard products can cause enamel damage and can cause dental emergencies like chipping, cracking, loose teeth, or, worst, broken teeth. Ice can chill your drink but don’t chew it. Resist your desire of eating ice and drink chilled water.
Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit are tasty and a great source of vitamin C. But the acid in them can cause enamel damage making your teeth more prone to damage. Moreover, drinking them can also cause some bothering mouth sores. So, eat and drink citrus in moderation and rinse your mouth with a glass of water afterwards.
Soft puffy popped kernels are tasty, but they get stuck between the teeth and promote bacteria growth. Beware of unpopped kernels; biting them can cause cracks in teeth, and sharp hulls can cause gums damage.
Dried fruits are a healthy snack, but many dried fruits like figs, raisins, apricots are sticky and chewy. So, they cling to the teeth, and the drying process makes them concentrated with sugar which causes damage. If you like to eat dried fruits, then make sure to brush and floss after eating them.
We’ll end the articles with these words. We are not asking to avoid all these products totally; try to eat to limit their use, brush your teeth and drink water after eating or drinking them.
