10 TYPES OF FOOD AND DRINK TO AVOID FOR DENTAL HEALTH

FOOD

1. Hard Candies

These types of candies can cause tooth damage due to their high sugar content, and their hard texture can break teeth.

2. Cake and Pastries

These foods are rich in sugar, which can serve as a food source for cavity-causing bacteria.

3. Chips or Starchy Snacks

The starch in these foods can turn into sugar in the mouth, leading to plaque buildup on the teeth.

4. Milk Chocolate

Milk chocolate contains higher sugar levels compared to dark chocolate, and this can damage tooth enamel.

5. Dried Fruits (like raisins)

Although they seem healthy, dried fruits stick to the teeth and contain concentrated sugars that can cause damage.

 

DRINKS

6. Carbonated Drinks (Soda)

The high sugar and acid content can damage tooth enamel.

 

7. Energy and Sports Drinks

In addition to high sugar content, these drinks also contain acids that can slowly damage teeth.

8. Sweetened Coffee or Tea

The added sugar in coffee or tea can lead to plaque formation on the teeth.

9. Concentrated Fruit Juices

Although made from real fruit, the natural sugar content and acidity can erode tooth enamel.

10. Alcoholic Beverages

Alcohol can dry out the mouth, reducing saliva, which is essential for protecting teeth from bacteria.
