The food that gets the most stuck in my teeth is meat. Pretty much period. Close second will be stringy vegetables. Which is to say, you aren't really wrong.

The food that gets the most stuck in my teeth is meat. Pretty much period. Close second will be stringy vegetables.
Which is to say, you aren't really wrong. But it is clearly more nuanced. I put a longer response to another post. I am not trying to find a single answer here. If we are lucky and there is one, I'm all for it. But, in general, I am very skeptical of many of these simplistic answers.
- viraptor 4y agoMeat and stringy stuff gets stuck between teeth, not to teeth. It's the stuff that sticks to the teeth, provides cover and environment for bacteria to grow is (a big part of) the problem. The things that are actually stringy are usually easy to remove. Things that stick to the surface - less so.
- giantg2 4y agoThe thing that typically gets stuck to teeth even with a good diet are minerals found in saliva.
- taeric 4y agoAs someone that doesn't have any cavities, I'm well aware of many of the subtle points. I also am well aware of just how scatter shot so much advice is... And how dominant genetics can be in this.

- wizofaus 4y agoI'd hazard that cooked meat is more likely to have that issue than raw meat. And as another poster pointed out, it's possibly more relevant what food sticks to the outer surface of your teeth, though I'm pretty sure any source of food around your teeth that bacteria can grow on is likely to lead to cavities.
