What should you avoid to keep your teeth perfect?
There are some foods that could potentially damage teeth. Here’s a list:
Sweets and sticky candies
If you must consume sweets, choose those that dissolve rapidly in your tongue. Thus, refined sugar candies like lollipops and caramels are not recommended. Compared to other candy, chocolate is more easily rinsed from teeth, according to the ADA. There are a few health benefits to eating dark chocolate (70% cacao). Compared to other sweet snacks, chocolate may not be as terrible, according to some research.
Foods high in starch
Foods high in starch have the potential to become lodged in the teeth. Examples of foods that can become wedged between teeth include soft breads and potato chips.
Carbonated beverages
For young people, these beverages have more added sugar than any other single food or drink. They have an abundance of sugar. The citric and phosphoric acids included in most soft drinks are known to erode tooth enamel.
Foods that dry up your mouth
That includes a lot of medications and booze. Consult your dentist at the Prudental Clinic in Kothrud, Pune about getting a fluoride rinse or fluoride gel if you suspect a medication is to blame.
