Tooth enamel is the most durable tissue in the human body. But it is so often exposed to harmful substances that a gap in the enamel is a common thing. This is "promoted" by the porous structure of its upper layer and the uneven distribution of enamel over the tooth surface. But the most dangerous thing for tooth enamel is food, especially some. Today we will tell you about 6 foods that you should forget about if you want to live with your own teeth as long as possible.
Carbonated drinks
Soda is the most dangerous product for tooth enamel. The acids they contain destroy the pellicle (a thin protective layer that forms on the teeth every day). To understand how dangerous soda is, try a simple experiment: lick the outside side of the teeth with your tongue, then take a sip of soda and swipe again - the surface will become rough.
It is especially harmful to drink soda for children with milk teeth. If you really can't unlearn yourself or wean your children, rinse your mouth with water after a soda.
Candy, including lollipops
Sugar leads to the formation of harmful bacteria on the teeth: moreover, chocolates are not as dangerous as hard candies. It is the "icicles" that are dangerous for the teeth: they not only stay in the mouth for a long time, but also with sharp edges can scratch the enamel surface.
Sour fruits, juices and fresh juices
Acid is another enemy of enamel. All citrus fruits, pineapple, green apples and berries eat away the tooth enamel even if you drink the juice through a straw. If you like fruit juices, rinse your mouth like after drinking soda.
Pickled products
More precisely, it is not the products themselves that are dangerous, but the marinade that contains vinegar. Frequent consumption of pickled mushrooms and cucumbers will lead to discoloration of the enamel, chips and caries.
Foods containing small seeds (jams, etc.)
Immediately, raspberry jam came to mind: sugar is not even terrible in it, but small bones that get stuck between the teeth and are scratched. Try to use raspberry jam only as a medicine and remember to rinse your mouth afterwards.
Chewing gum
A controversial product: on the one hand, advertising strongly advises to chew, and on the other hand, we already know that sugar is dangerous for teeth. That is, the way out is the same as with soda: we chew, then rinse with water.
