The Best And Worst Foods For Your Teeth

Citrus fruits

Citrus fruits are good for you in countless ways with respect to vitamins and minerals. However, they are harsh of your teeth.

Chewy candy

These colorful and delicious bites are terrible for your dental health. When you chew them, little bits get stuck in between your teeth.

Hard candy

Even though hard candy doesn't get stuck in your teeth, there are still huge problems. Firstly, they are flavored with citric acid.

Pickles

Pickles are usually soaked in vinegar to give them their signature flavor. But researchers have found that eating just one pickle a day increases your chances of tooth wear by an astounding 85%.

Soda

You may think only sugary drinks are bad for your teeth. However, even sugar-free sodas are harmful because they contain citric and phosphoric acid.

Sports drinks

Sports drinks are just sugary sodas in disguise. Drinks like Red Bull are very high in sugar. Even drinks that seem healthy such as vitamin water are still very high in sugar and consequently can lead to tooth decay if consumed regularly.

Crackers

Although they make a great accompaniment for cheese, these little crackers can harm your teeth. The refined carbohydrates in the crackers turn into sugar in your mouth and can get stuck between your teeth.

Coffee

Coffee is a terrible drink for your teeth color. Over time, coffee can stain your teeth brown even more than tobacco might. To keep your pearly whites white, stay away from coffee.
