Bad Food Habits That Wreck Your Teeth
2
Chewing of Ice Cubes
Chewing of the ice cube is a seemingly harmless,
often bad habit. But, ice chewing can cause
permanent damage to your teeth and putting small
cracks in the enamel. These cracks can grow
larger over time and ultimately cause a tooth to
fracture.

Sports Drinks
There's no doubt a cold sports drink is
refreshing after a good workout. But these drinks
are usually high in sugar. These drinks
encourages acid-producing bacteria to proliferate
in the mouth which causes severe tooth
infections. A better way to stay hydrated at the
gym is to drink sugar-free, calorie-free water.

Drinking Coffee
Coffee's dark color and acidity can cause
yellowing of the teeth over time. Fortunately,
it's one of the easiest stains to treat with
various whitening methods. The presence of
caffeine interferes with saliva flow that cause a
dry mouth, which leads to tooth decay. Talk to
your dentist if you're concerned about
discoloration of your teeth.
5
Gummy Candy
As we know all sugar items promote tooth decay.
Gummy candy usually sticks in the teeth, causing
destructive impact on the enamel. If your day
just isn't the same without a gummy critter, pop
a couple during a meal instead of as a separate
snack. More saliva is produced during meals,
which helps rinse away candy bits and acids.
6
Soda
The acid in the soda softens the tooth that is
most prone to enamel erosion and reduces the size
of tooth. Diet soft drinks let you skip the
sugar, but they may have even more acid in the
form of the artificial sweeteners.
