It\u2019s stronger even than bone, but unfortunately, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s invincible. For example, you might consume too many sugary foods, which attracts acid-producing bacteria that erode the protective outer layer, which can contribute to cavities, gum disease, and other issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might also accidentally chip, crack, or break a tooth chomping on foods that are hard or crunchy, which often requires an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivierafamilydentistryofmesquite.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency dental visit<\/a> to address. If you\u2019re afraid you might harm your smile, continue reading to learn about 3 potentially problematic foods to avoid!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Concern #1: Hard Candy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cavities occur when germs in your mouth produce acids that wear down your enamel, allowing them to penetrate the protective outer layer. Minimizing your consumption of sugary foods, like lollipops, jolly ranchers, or other hard candies can therefore help avoid tooth decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, many patients have accidentally broken a tooth while biting into tough candies not intended for chewing, which can result in costly repairs or restorations, such as a dental crown. That means eating softer options in moderation, such as chocolate, can help protect your smile <em>and<\/em> your budget!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Concern #2: Nuts, Seeds, or Popcorn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever been munching a handful of popcorn only to realize afterward that you injured your mouth? Many people are familiar with the sensation of having one of the thin kernels slide between two teeth or beneath their gums, which can cause irritation or aches until it can be flossed or brushed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, it\u2019s also possible to chip or crack your enamel by eating too many hard seeds or nuts. They may be a great source of protein, but so are dairy products, which are softer and also contain plenty of calcium to build stronger teeth and bones. If you\u2019re seeking a softer alternative to these salty snacks, you might enjoy Greek yogurt, cheese, or other options that are easier to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Concern #3: Fruits with Pits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Raw fruits can be an excellent source of different vitamins and minerals essential for your body to function at its peak. However, many options, such as olives, peaches, and cherries, naturally contain large, hard seeds, or pits. You wouldn\u2019t be the first patient to chip or crack their teeth by biting into one unknowingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, many grocery stores and markets sell pitted varieties that don\u2019t include this tough centerpiece. You might also incorporate softer options into your diet. For example, many citrus fruits are high in vitamin C and other ingredients that help support your connective tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoiding these three common culprits known to injure teeth and choosing softer snacks can help you protect and preserve your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients with Riviera Family Dentistry of Mesquite benefit from a team of providers eager to help people of all ages build and maintain happy, healthy teeth and gums.
