What are the foods that destroy teeth?

1. Eat apples. Dr. John Buzato, president of the American Orthodontists Association, pointed out that people should not chew hard and brittle fruits and vegetables such as apples and carrots directly with their teeth, but should cut them into small pieces before eating to avoid tooth cracking. In addition, chewing ice may also lead to cracked and broken teeth.

2. Dr. Buzato pointed out that gnawing the corn on the corncob can easily lead to loosening of teeth and displacement of dentures. Therefore, when people eat the corn on the cob, they should peel the corn from the cob before eating.

3. Don't rinse your mouth after eating pasta. After eating refined pasta such as bread, the acidity in the mouth will rise sharply and the enamel will be corroded to varying degrees. Therefore, people should gargle or brush their teeth carefully after eating pasta.

4. Tearing the food packaging bag with teeth Some people often tear the food packaging bag or open the bottle cap with their teeth for convenience, which not only easily leads to tooth fracture, but also causes bacteria attached to the packaging bag to enter the mouth, causing people to suffer from periodontal disease.

5. Always drink bottled water. Dr Brett silverman, a dentist in Georgia, USA, pointed out that in the process of making bottled water, the acidity of water will be significantly enhanced, and the minerals contained in it will be significantly reduced. Therefore, if people often drink bottled water, it is easy to cause dental caries. In addition, soda water and most sports drinks also contain acidic substances, which will corrode enamel. In life, people should develop the habit of drinking boiled water (boiled tap water) and drinking drinks through straws (which can reduce the chance of contact between drinks and teeth) to prevent periodontal disease.

I like to eat potato chips and popcorn. Potato chips and popcorn will become sticky when I eat them, and they will be easily stuffed into my teeth. If people often eat these foods, more sugar will remain in periodontal tissue, which will breed germs and induce dental caries. In addition, raisins, figs, dried apricots and other dried fruits are nutritious, but they also contain a lot of sugar, so it is not advisable to eat more.

7. Always drink black tea and red wine. Dr Michael Paaisani, a dental expert in Virginia, USA, pointed out that enamel is particularly vulnerable to dark foods (such as soy sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, curry, etc.). ), and then fine spots appear. People should drink plenty of water when eating dark food, and rinse their mouths after eating this kind of food. In addition, some drinks are also easy to cause tooth discoloration. Dr. Irwin Smigel, President of American Dental Beauty Association, pointed out that liquor is very acidic, which can easily make teeth discolored and dry, and reduce the protective effect of saliva on teeth. Black tea contains more tannic acid, which can also lead to tooth discoloration.

8. Love sour food Citrus fruits (such as grapefruit, oranges, oranges) contain a lot of acidic substances, which will damage enamel. Therefore, people should rinse their mouths in time after eating this kind of food. Excessive jealousy can also induce dental caries. Studies have found that children who are jealous too much will increase the chance of enamel corrosion by 30% ~ 85%. Dr. Smigel pointed out that jealous people can eat more lettuce to reduce the harm of vinegar to their teeth.

9. Chewing gum often Dr. Bill Doffman, an American dental expert, pointed out that if people chew gum all day, it is equivalent to soaking their teeth in sugar water. Dr Guilum Leping, a dental expert in Massachusetts, USA, also pointed out that chewing gum is easy to stick to teeth and form dental plaque. In addition, often containing hard candy or throat lozenges is not conducive to dental health.

10. Wrong brushing method Dr. Doffman pointed out that if people don't master the correct brushing method, they will not only fail to protect their teeth, but may also damage their teeth.
