Polo mints are they really the worst sweets for teeth?!
Question: I would think the worst sweets in regards to tooth decay must be the ones that you chew for ages. The longer the sugars are in contact with the teeth, the more damage they can do. So those that really take ages to chew and then still leave bits stuck to your teeth surely must be the worst. Toffee must be one of the biggest offenders.
I have read that it is not the quantity of sugar, but the time spent in contact with the teeth, so although candy floss is all sugar, if it soon leaves the mouth it might not be the worst.
Of course whatever sweet is eaten, a good brushing soon afterwards should solve any worries!

Not really, as the hole in the middle actually reduces the harmful effect on your teeth. You are effectively minusing the harm because of that hole.
Better still, it contains no calories, so when you are toothless you will still be skinny like two short skinny things.
I have read in the past that sharps extra strong are v.heavy in sugar content and then there's fairground candy floss - 100% sugar!!!
They are so full of sugar i get tooth ache just looking at them!
Yes too much sugar
