Dentist named the most dangerous products for teeth

Some foods can be much more dangerous for tooth enamel than regular sugar. Kirill Polyakov, Candidate of Medical Sciences, dental surgeon at Naudent Dentistry, told about this on Tuesday, June 9.

"The first example is dried fruits. Raisins, dates, dried apricots and prunes are often bought for children instead of sweets. The logic is clear: natural means useful. But for teeth, it's a sticky, sweet mass that gets stuck between teeth and in the chewing grooves for a long time. The bacteria don't care where the sugar comes from — from caramel or from dates," the doctor explained in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

According to the expert, sour fruits and berries, such as oranges, grapefruits, lemons, sour apples or currants, can be harmful when they are eaten often and a little during the day: acid softens the enamel, and teeth become more sensitive.

Carbonated drinks are also harmful, even without sugar, as the acids in their composition change the environment in the mouth and gradually weaken the enamel, he added.

"The fourth product is chips, crackers and crackers, which quickly turn into a starchy mass in the mouth, clogging between the teeth. It is especially unpleasant if such snacks happen in the evening, but there is no normal cleaning after them," said the dentist.

Polyakov noted that pickled vegetables and sour sauces can also increase tooth sensitivity.

The dentist said that for dental health, after acidic and sticky foods, it is useful to drink water, not to clean them immediately after sour, but to wait 20-30 minutes.
