10 TYPES OF FOOD AND DRINKS TO AVOID FOR DENTAL HEALTH

FOOD

1. Hard candy

This type of candy can cause tooth decay because of its high sugar content and hard texture that can break teeth.

2. Cakes and pastries

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

3. Crackers or starchy snacks

The flour from these foods can turn into sugar in the mouth, causing plaque on the teeth.

4. Milk chocolate

The sugar content in milk chocolate is higher than in dark chocolate, and this can damage tooth enamel.

5. Dried fruit (such as raisins)

Although they look healthy, dried fruit sticks to teeth and contains concentrated sugars that can cause decay.

DRINKS

6. Fizzy drinks (soda)

High sugar and acid content can damage tooth enamel.

7. Energy and sports drinks

In addition to high sugar, this drink also contains acid that can slowly damage teeth.

8. Sweet coffee or sugary tea

The added sugar in coffee or tea can cause plaque build-up on the teeth.

9. Concentrated fruit juice

Although natural fruit juice, its natural sugar content and acidity can erode tooth enamel.

10. Alcoholic drinks

Alcohol can dry out the mouth, reducing saliva, which is important to protect teeth from bacteria
