If as a child we often are asked not to eat a lot of sweets
and chocolates that could create cavities, turns out to be kept that habit into
adulthood. Some foods and drinks below can slowly damage the health of your
teeth, be careful! Reported by “Sheknows”.
Juice and Milk
Drinking juices seem healthier and safer than soft drinks,
but according to Jennifer Bowen a dental assistant from Carmel Indiana said, "The juice is
loaded with sugar, which in turn can lead to tooth decay." It is more
prone to occur in children, even if they are drinking is 100 percent natural
juices, as well as high natural sugar content.
The same applies to milk, mothers often give their children
fruit juice, milk or snack before bed (no brush) will cause more severe tooth
decay (dental decay) than children who always brush my teeth before bed. Not
only the children, it can also occur in adults.
Candy
It's a long word when chewing can damage teeth, not only in
children but also adults. Not just humans who like sweet foods, bacteria in
your mouth are also much liked. The bacteria that will eat leftover candy sugar
that sticks to the teeth and then produce acids that attack the enamel for 20
minutes after you smoke or chew gum. If eating sweets made continuously, the
tooth will continue to be attacked.
Rice, Bread, Noodles
Not just sugar, carbohydrate-rich foods can make you smile
no longer beautiful. Foods with high levels of carbohydrates such as rice,
starch, bread, flour and processed sugar which can make oral bacteria produce
acids that destroy tooth enamel. Therefore, do not feel safe if you eat instant
noodles or bread before bed; do not forget to brush your teeth.
Lemon and Food / Beverage Acids
Many people who take it easy after drinking lemon or other
acidic foods. Though acidity in lemon or vinegar can erode teeth. So do not
forget to brush your teeth after consuming acidic drinks or food with flavor
sauces that use vinegar / sour.
Cough Liquid
You read that right, a cough medicine find it can relieve
coughs, but harmful to the health of your teeth. Why? Due to cough syrup
containing liquid or a lot of sugar. So take cough medicine with eating candy.
Therefore, we recommend you take cough medicine liquid first, and then brush
your teeth before bed. If necessary, choose sugar-free cough medicine. The same
applies for liquid medications or syrup for children.
Healthy teeth would make digesting food better; make you
confident and smiling broadly. So, always keep your dental health and your
family.
