What are some teeth eating foods outside candy/chocolate/soda?
- welikethepark 9y agoSimple carbohydrates and acids are the worst offenders. Kissing/sharing saliva with people with cavities also increases your risk.
- sli 9y agoStarches can be worse for your teeth than sugar because unlike sugar, starch isn't hydroscopic.
- RobertRoberts 9y agoHonestly I don't know. I assume acidic foods of any kind. But our bodies are designed to eat plenty of acidic foods, so that is why I don't think demonizing acid is the solution. A few stories I heard a long time ago was babies having their front teeth eaten away because their parents gave them fruit juice in a bottle or sippy cup all the time. So anything that is over done, where the body can't balance the ph on it's own, would be bad. But going too alkaline can be bad also I'd imagine.

- vinni2 9y agoChips/crisps can be worse than sugar as they can stick between teeth and foster bacterial growth.
