What is the worst food and drink for your teeth?!


Question: HI, I'm a dentist.

The absolute worst food/drink for your dental health is mountain dew soft drink.

Dentists even have a term to describe what happens to patients drink mountain dew heavily: mountain dew mouth. I've seen it myself a number of times, and each time the primary contributing factor to the rampant tooth decay is mountain dew.

So, drink it in moderation.

any thing highly acidic is hard on the teeth

i don`t know about food but coke is by far the worst soda for your teeth, u can feel the sugar everytime u drink it....also try drinking warm you`ll feel how much sugar is it in

ofcourse soda and candy.

i heard coffee can be damaging..

coffee, taffy, cola's ,most anything with sugar in it that will sit on your teeth
and chips are bad too, the carbs or something in them turn into sugar
pretty much,if you eat something bad, go and brush , floss and gargle if you can afterwards, if not, don't eat them
apples are wonderful. eat plenty of them!

sugary food

My dentist has always told me to avoid giving the kids gummies. They stick to your teeth too much. Just one of probably many.

orange juice and soda.

anything with acid, because it eats the enamel off your teeth. especially don't drink these after you've brushed your teeth

Sweet things and sweet drinks, especially coke is very bad for your teeth

Soda. I saw one thing on TV where they poured soda on metal and it started sizzling and eating the outer coating of the metal. If it can do that to metal, imagine what it can do to your teeth.

One thing people don't usually think of as being bad for your teeth are raisins and other dried fruit. They are as bad as candy because they have a lot of sugars in them and stick right into the grooves and in between your teeth.

Welll.... Sugary stuff like sour worms!! Can roote ya teeth!!
Pepis!! or coke!

U know all that stuff

anything that contains citrus acid. It eats the enamel right off of them.
