Many people take excellent care of their oral cavity, but nevertheless tooth enamel is affected by caries.

It turns out that this can happen due to poor nutrition. What foods are harmful to teeth?

The biggest harm to tooth enamel is caused by lollipops. This problem is especially common among those with a sweet tooth and small children.

If you can’t give up this delicacy, you should give preference to sweet products that hardly linger in your mouth.

Avoid eating too much bread and other starchy foods. These foods get stuck in the spaces between your teeth and thus create the most favorable conditions for bacteria to multiply.

Doctors also strongly advise against drinking sweet soda. These drinks contain acids that thin tooth enamel.

You can't eat very hard food, even if your teeth are completely healthy. For example, you can't eat ice from drinks or crack nuts with your teeth.

Pastries and cakes are also not good for dental health. But if you don't eat these desserts often, they won't do much harm to your enamel.
