Foods That Are Bad For The Teeth

When it comes to having strong healthy teeth, there are certain foods that are recommended to be good and healthy. However, there are also certain foods that are considered bad for your teeth. So if you want to have those stronger and healthier teeth, avoid the following foods.

- Candies. Anything sweet is actually not good for your teeth. However, you can still eat candies and chocolates in moderation and make sure that you either brush or gargle with mouthwash right after eating.

- Alcoholic beverages. This may seem to be a strict rule to you but alcoholic beverages in indeed bad for the teeth as they are very acidic. These kinds of drinks dissolve your enamel.

- Coffee and Sodas. As much as these drinks are really good to the taste, these can also be a contributing factor to the damage of your teeth. Coffee and sodas dry out your mouth and reduce the production of saliva. And as you know, saliva is a very helpful agent in killing bacteria inside your mouth which can cause tooth decays.

These are three of the most common foods that are considered bad for the teeth. You can, of course, still have one of these every once in a while but just make sure that you rinse or gargle right after eating or drinking.
