If eaten too much to cause tooth decay, its hard physical nature may also cause oral emergencies such as tooth fracture.
Suggestion: alternative to chewing sugar-free chewing gum
2.Pay attention to the intake of citrus fruits
Frequent contact with acidic food will damage tooth enamel and make teeth more prone to caries.
Suggestion: drink plenty of plain water or rinse your mouth after ingesting citrus fruits or juice.
3.Not all coffee and tea are good for you
Coffee and tea are both healthy drinks, but many people can’t resist adding sugar when drinking them. In addition, caffeinated coffee and tea can also cause dry mouth. Regular coffee and tea consumption can also stain your teeth.
Suggestion: If you drink coffee and tea, be sure to rinse your mouth with plain water afterwards and try to ensure that added substances are kept to a minimum.
4, sticky food is the teeth’s worst nightmare
Since sticky food sticks to your teeth longer than other foods, it causes more damage to your teeth.
Suggestion: If you often eat sticky foods, make sure you rinse your mouth with water after eating, and brush and floss carefully.
5, beware of which chewing “crunchy” food
When chewing potato chips, behind the pleasant and satisfying “crunching” sound, there lurks the damage to teeth, because potato chips are rich in starch, which will firmly adhere to the teeth and lead to caries.
Suggestion: After eating such snacks, use dental floss to carefully remove all the food residues that will cause plaque accumulation.
6.Drink soft drinks and then drink a glass of plain water
Most carbonated beverages are acidic and therefore harmful to teeth.
Suggestion: After drinking carbonated drinks, rinse your mouth with plain water.
7.Limit alcohol consumption
Alcohol can cause dehydration and dry mouth. Excessive alcohol consumption causes a decrease in the amount of saliva, which leads to tooth decay and periodontal disease, etc. Severe alcohol abuse can also increase the risk of oral cancer.
Suggestion: Drink alcohol in moderation, which is good for your oral and general health.
