There Are Foods That Will Harm The Tooth Enamel    

Among Them Are Acidic Foods Such As Citrus And Tomatoes    

There are foods that could be harmful to the teeth. Known foods are sugar-based processed foods, candy, and sugary sodas, which promote the accumulation of plaque that leads to cavities and gum disease if there is not proper oral health. There are other foods that will create an acidic environment in the mouth, which softens and attacks the enamel if not cleaned and increases the risk of teeth sensitivity. Among them are citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons, and the tomato sauce in pasta. This sauce is even more acidic if it is made from canned tomatoes. Picked and fermented foods are also acidic, but they promote gut health. Since these foods soften the tooth enamel, it is better to rinse the mouth after the meal, but wait 20 minutes to brush the teeth, because the enamel must be given time to harden. Other foods might cause cracks in the teeth, such as popcorn containing unpopped kernels, and chewing ice. People with fillings must be especially careful with these two foods.
