Since childhood, we have all become accustomed to thinking that such products can only bring benefits to the body.

But it is important to remember that there are some nuances here.

Dentist-orthopedist Evgeniya Boytsova told which berries and fruits can harm teeth and why.

The specialist shared details with representatives of the AiF publication.

As the doctor noted, a person who eats a lot of sour fruits faces the fact that his body gets too much citric acid, which harms teeth.

That is why you need to remember certain rules when you want to include such products in your diet. For example, after citrus fruits, you must rinse your mouth with clean water, otherwise the acid can destroy the enamel.

As for berries, you should be careful when eating fruits that have small seeds that can get stuck, forming cracks in the tooth enamel.

Gum inflammation may also occur.

In this case we are talking about raspberries, currants, blackberries.

In addition, it should be taken into account that cherries, currants, blueberries and some other fruits and berries can stain the enamel.

Therefore, they should not be eaten after bleaching or restoration.
