Why are potato chips bad for your teeth? They are mostly oil and salt.
- jdminhbg 9y agoThey’re mostly starch, which the enzymes in your mouth convert to sugar.
- blawson 9y agoThey get stuck in between, and in your gums, in a way that (obviously) liquids don’t.
- rleigh 9y agoIt's not what they are made of, it's the effect they have. Bits get stuck between your teeth and gums, and this encourages bacteria to grow and establish biofilms, which once established can start causing tooth decay. Long term, they can cause a lot of damage.
