Candy causes caries, especially with long term exposure to sugar throughout the day leaves our teeth extremely vulnerable to bad bacteria. Think eating a lollipop, sipping soda or energy drinks, and drinking tea or coffee with sugar all day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. ICE<\/strong> – Chewing on ice can weaken our enamel and become more susceptible to cavities. Bet you didn\u2019t think of that one, and it\u2019s proven according to CDA (Canadian Dental Association) so cut the habit!<\/li>\n
    2. Lemon Water or anything Citrus-y<\/strong> – Citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, mango, pineapple etc. Acidity on a constant basis will weaken our enamel. So limit these fruits but since they are so good for you in other ways eat in moderation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Tea, Coffee, Wine, sports drinks<\/strong> \u2013 Here\u2019s the thing, these drinks will stain your teeth, and guess what? They are also acidic. When it comes to wine, tea or coffee with sugar, the combo of acidity + sugar = cavities. Limiting your alcohol intake all together is the wisest choice when it comes to oral health because Alcohol has been proven to promote oral cancers. That\u2019s why they took it out of Listerine!<\/li>\n
      2. Sticky Foods <\/strong>\u2013 Trail mix, dried fruit, gummies, jujubes etc.\u2026 you get the picture. These sugary items stick to our teeth (without knowing \u2013 you think you got it all out) and promote cavities.<\/li>\n
      3. Things that go \u201ccrunch\u201d<\/strong> \u2013Think chips, crackers, etc. When we chew these foods tiny particles tend to stay and sit in the crevices of our teeth. Because carbohydrate = sugar, then sugar = cavities.<\/li>\n
      4. SODA<\/strong> \u2013 Here`s the BIG one. The BIG no no actually. People who consume even the diet free or sugar free sodas more than once a day are 62% more likely to have dental decay according to the ADA<\/strong>. Just remember if you sip all day, you get decay.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Truth is\u00a0everyone eats\/drinks these foods, most likely you wont be able\u00a0to fully avoid them. \u00a0but limit them in moderation especially if you are prone to dental caries. For more clarification, you can consult with our Oral Surgeon in North Vancouver<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
