10 Foods That Damage Your Teeth by Krasid(m): 11:58pm On Sep 12, 2013 |
Most people know candy and other sugary foods wreak havoc on their teeth,but how about fruit? You've probably heard brushing and flossing twice a day is the best way to keep your teeth healthy.But some foods cause enough damage to warrant extra cleanings. 1. Apples Apples are high in acid, are surprisingly hard on your enamel.While a daily apple may keep the doctor away, the acid might keep your dentist on speed dial.Eating apples is fine, just be sure to rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash shortly after. 2. Hard candies Though you probably know the sugar in candy is a problem, hard candies are especially harmful because we tend to hold them in our mouths longer.Also be aware that cough drops are often made with sugar, so opt for the sugar-free brand if available. 3. Pickled vegetables Pickles are made with vinegar, which is acidic, and often sugar as well. While the vegetables are healthy, the brine is can damage your teeth.Drinking water with your meal helps wash away acids and sugar, but remember to brush an hour later. 4. Bread Many breads contain sugar-especially processed white breads. It's best to check the labels for any added sweeteners that will breed mouth bacteria.Bread is also sticky and gets between and behind your teeth. 5. Popcorn Popcorn is notorious for getting stuck in your teeth, and the areas between your teeth will cultivate more bacteria for that reason. It's okay to treat yourself to a bag of popcorn as long as you rinse with water and remember to floss and brush after. 6. Peanut butter Sticky and often made with sugar, peanut butter not only feeds bacteria but makes it easier for them to adhere to teeth.Look for natural peanut butters with no added sugars to lessen the problem. 7. Jelly Along with peanut butter, jelly or jam is loaded with sugar and quite sticky.Even the all-fruit brands contain natural sugars and encourage plaque and bacteria if not washed away soon. 8. Meat Meat tends to get stuck between your teeth, and some meat products contain sugar as a preservative.While the amount may not be very high, any food that sits between your teeth can promote tooth decay.Try chewing sugar-less gum after eating if you can't brush right away. 9. Diet soda Just because it doesn't have sugar doesn't mean your teeth are safe. The acidity of diet sodas is still extremely high, making it one of the worst products for your teeth. 10. Salad dressing More of a condiment than a food, salad dressings use vinegar and sugar for flavor.Salads should be a staple in anyone's diet, but be careful of the dressings that can harm your smile. http://summertomato.com/10-foods-you-didnt-know-were-damaging-your-teeth/ 3 Likes |

Virtually everything we take in has its merits and demerits. Some will end-up killing us and others wont. The fact is something must be responsible for one's death. 1 Like |

That means you should brush after eating anything, you also have to keep your tooth brush handy wherever you go in case you decide to have a quick snack on the way. . .Oh, you should also brush after drinking water cos it can be sweet at times 1 Like |
