Sweet and sour foods should be in moderation
Whether fruits, drinks, or cakes, they are high in sugar and acidity, which is easy to cause tooth decay and tooth erosion. Sweet foods have a relatively high sugar content, which will promote the reproduction of bacteria in the mouth, resulting in teeth being eroded by bacteria and caries (tooth decay, insect teeth). The composition of teeth is calcium salt, and acid decalcified tooth enamel, tarnished, turned chalky color, and then small holes appeared, forming caries. Therefore, after eating sweet or acidic food, you should brush your teeth or rinse your mouth as soon as possible to remove your teeth from the acidic environment and protect your dental health.
Spicy and stimulating foods should be reduced
Spicy and stimulating food will not only stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, but also stimulate the oral mucosa, which can easily cause problems such as swollen gums, mouth ulcers, and wisdom teeth inflammation.
Don't use your teeth as tools
When eating nuts and drinking beer, do not use your teeth as tools to avoid splitting teeth, lip trauma, and loose teeth.
