Hazardous caries-causing foods

The teeth look very durable. They are able to chop carrots and even chop the shell of a small nut. But hard enamel hides soft, vulnerable tissues. In violation of the upper layer, a person does not always feel pain, it comes when the process goes far. If you do not visit the dentist on time and do not place a seal, inflammation may begin and the tooth will have to be removed. Some products can accelerate the process of enamel destruction.

Eat or abstain

There are several reasons for the appearance of caries:

• the composition of water with a low fluorine content;
• genetic predisposition;
• health problems of a woman during pregnancy;
• lack or insufficient level of personal hygiene;
• a small amount of fruits and vegetables in the diet;
• abuse of products containing sucrose.

It is impossible to influence some of them, but a person can change other factors by reducing the risk of tooth enamel destruction several times. The main point that is subject to everyone is the diet. A list of products that provoke the development of caries has been compiled.

Confectionery
Confectionery and sweets with a high sugar content. It seems paradoxical, but sugar when decomposed gives an acid that softens the enamel. For several hours, she becomes especially vulnerable. If there is a constant craving for sweets, you should be wary. The body probably lacks calcium.

Coffee and salt
Coffee and salt indirectly affect dental health. They do not allow the body to absorb minerals and vitamins in full.

Soft, dry or sticky foods
Soft, dry or sticky foods leave microparticles on the surface of the teeth that cause decay. Hence the unpleasant odor and inflammation of the gums leading to tooth loss.

Carbonated drinks
Sweet carbonated drinks are aggressive to the surface of the teeth. They should not be completely excluded from the diet. Children want to try an effervescent drink and it's not worth it to deprive them. You can simply minimize contact with the liquid by offering a cocktail straw.

Citrus juices
Citrus juices are very useful, but in action they resemble soda. One principle - a straw for cocktails.

It turns out there are few aggressors among the products. Their effect is neutralized by hygiene.

Important: immediately after eating, brushing your teeth is not recommended, the enamel is in a softened state and is easy to damage. It is better to simply rinse your mouth with water or a special liquid with herbal extracts.

After sticky toffee or glazed corn rings, you can eat an apple. It will not clean out the teeth and the spaces between them, but in the process of chewing, the flesh will mechanically remove adhering particles and freshen the breath.

Preserving the beauty of a smile is easy at any age, if you take care of the condition of the teeth from youth and do not multiply the risk factors for enamel.
