Bad Food Habits That Wreck Your Teeth
Chewing of Ice Cubes Chewing of the ice cube is a seemingly harmless, often bad habit. But, ice chewing can cause permanent damage to your teeth and putting small cracks in the enamel. These cracks can grow larger over time and ultimately cause a tooth to fracture.
Sports Drinks There's no doubt a cold sports drink is refreshing after a good workout. But these drinks are usually high in sugar. These drinks encourages acid-producing bacteria to proliferate in the mouth which causes severe tooth infections. A better way to stay hydrated at the gym is to drink sugar-free, calorie-free water.
Drinking Coffee Coffee's dark color and acidity can cause yellowing of the teeth over time. Fortunately, it's one of the easiest stains to treat with various whitening methods. The presence of caffeine interferes with saliva flow that cause a dry mouth, which leads to tooth decay. Talk to your dentist if you're concerned about discoloration of your teeth.
Gummy Candy As we know all sugar items promote tooth decay. Gummy candy usually sticks in the teeth, causing destructive impact on the enamel. If your day just isn't the same without a gummy critter, pop a couple during a meal instead of as a separate snack. More saliva is produced during meals, which helps rinse away candy bits and acids.
Soda The acid in the soda softens the tooth that is most prone to enamel erosion and reduces the size of tooth. Diet soft drinks let you skip the sugar, but they may have even more acid in the form of the artificial sweeteners.
