occasionally is okay. But eating them frequently
can create a buildup of plaque on your teeth.

ingredients that tend to stick to your teeth,
especially along the gums.

and floss your teeth right away.

Citrus fruit contain numerous nutrients that
your body needs. But the acid in these foods can
also damage the enamel on your teeth.

teeth. So, it is better to eat the whole fresh
citrus fruit rather than drinking only the juice.

After eating an orange for a snack, swish water
around in your mouth to remove the acids that
can erode your tooth enamel.

your teeth. Hard rolls and bagels, however, can
damage the enamel.

If you cant resist eating one occasionally,
then tear it into small pieces and put into your
mouth before chewing.

foods with your front teeth.

tooth decay.

teeth.

highly pressurized water into your mouth. Its
very important for oral health.
