I was almost posting out of anger until I saw this;
just be sure to rinse your
mouth with water or mouthwash shortly
after.
Thank God there's a cheap solution for all those foods you posted up there. Safe journey!

Krasid: 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.

naijathings: Taste my Lollipop. it is sugar free,
the more you lick my lollipop, the bigger it gets..
unlike other lollipop that melt when u lick, mine gets bigger, longer harder, stronger, faster,
and it has a similarity to Eclairs sweets..
and it always comes with some round sweets which are fondly called balls. very delicate but tasty too.
wanna taste?
i can let u lick it for free for the first time as sample.
[size=18pt]NO SUGAR.[/size]
