  1. How Does Sugar Affect Your Teeth? Happiness is your dentist telling you it won’t hurt and then having him catch his hand in the drill. ~ Johnny Carson.

  2. INTRODUCTION Sugar is bad for your teeth because it creates cavities. The mouth is home to microscopic organisms that thrive on sugar and turn it into acids. These acids break down tooth enamel and contribute to decay. Too much sugar has many adverse effects on your oral health, such as an increased risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and conditions like heart disease and dementia. Consuming large amounts of sugar can have negative consequences on your smile, including cavities and gum disease. Sugar is one of the worst things for your teeth, but it's hard to avoid.

  3. There are two destructive types of bacteria that can be found in the mouth- Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus. These bacteria feed off of sugar and produce plaque. Plaque is the sticky substance that dentists clean off of your teeth during a routine visit. If plaque is not removed by brushing or saliva, it will eventually become acidic and eat away at the enamel on your teeth. Sugar Changes The Acidity In Your Mouth

  4. Sugar is one of the main culprits when it comes to tooth decay and gum disease. When sugar is combined with the bacteria in your mouth, it creates an acidic environment that can eat away your tooth enamel and cause gum inflammation. Gum disease can lead to receding gums and tooth decay if left untreated. Sugar Attracts Bad Bacteria

  5. There is sugar in a lot of the foods and beverages we consume on a daily basis. It can be difficult to try and cut down on the amount of sugar we're taking in, especially when it comes to processed or refined sugar. It's not just sugary snacks that can damage your teeth - even healthy foods like carrots and celery can cause problems. That's because they contain natural sugars that can encourage the growth of plaque and bacteria on your teeth. Drinking plenty of water during and after eating helps wash away food particles and bacteria, keeping your mouth clean. Sugary Foods And Drinks That Cause Tooth Decay

  6. Maintaining good oral health is important for preventing cavities and other dental problems. In addition to choosing healthy alternatives to sugary foods, aim to brush your teeth at least twice a day using fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and rinse with a mouthwash. To help preserve your tooth enamel, avoid brushing directly after consuming sugar. Wait about an hour before brushing or rinse your mouth with water in the meantime.
