Common Foods That Are Destroying Your Teeth Horribly

To have a beautiful smile, you need to limit foods that have the potential to damage your teeth.

Dried fruit.

Dried fruits such as raisins, prunes, dried bananas... can be harmful to teeth due to their high sugar content.

Sugar left on teeth stimulates the growth of bacteria in the mouth, eroding tooth enamel.

Candy

Hard candy is bad for your teeth. It takes a while for the candy to dissolve in your mouth. This gives the sugar time to get stuck in your teeth, giving bacteria more time to create acid and damage your tooth enamel.

Almond

Almonds are high in vitamin E and healthy fats, but they can be harmful to your teeth. "They're so hard, you could chip your teeth if you bite into them."

Sugary drinks

Soft drinks and energy drinks are very harmful to teeth when used for a long time. Not only do they contain sugar, these drinks also contain phosphoric and citric acids that erode tooth enamel.

Coffee

Coffee is dark in color so it easily stains teeth, over time making the tooth surface rough.

Coffee is also dark in color, which can easily stain your teeth. These yellow stains also make the tooth surface rough and bumpy, creating conditions for plaque to easily appear.

Red wine

Red wine contains corrosive acids that damage tooth enamel very quickly. The tannins in red wine cause dry mouth and discolored teeth.

A study found that white wine puts drinkers at risk of tooth discoloration because the tannins and acids in the wine roughen the surface of teeth, leading to porous enamel - allowing teeth to absorb color.

Milk is essential for strong bones.

However, milk contains natural sugars and if you drink milk regularly without brushing your teeth, you may develop early tooth decay.

Foods high in acid

Lemons, vinegar, oranges, tangerines, tomatoes... cause tooth enamel to erode quickly. Experts advise people to brush their teeth and rinse their mouths after eating to reduce the amount of acid remaining on their teeth.

Starch rich food

Starchy foods such as potato chips, white bread... can easily get stuck in teeth, creating an opportunity for bacteria to invade and damage tooth enamel.

Pickles

Pickles are a food that has a lot of flavor but very few calories. In particular, they can cause problems for the pearly whites of your teeth.

Pickled foods are very acidic because of the vinegar. This can lead to demineralization of teeth. Additionally, pickled foods often contain sugar, which contributes to cavities.
