"Sweets and salads can be harmful": a dentist explained how to maintain healthy teeth during the holidays
New Year's holidays are usually associated with high-calorie dishes, as well as with the extra pounds that appear on the scales after them.
At the same time, everyone usually forgets that such food, which decorates the tables, is harmful to teeth.
Dentist Maria Ivanova told Life about this in more detail.
She recalled that during the holidays, citrus fruits, sweets, and mayonnaise salads, which are full of harmful components, are popular.
We're talking about sugar and fast carbohydrates.
They eventually turn into acids.
The latter cause serious damage to tooth enamel and provoke its destruction.
Ivanova added that red wine also harms teeth, giving them a purple tint when the enamel is damaged. The problem can be prevented by using a straw.
In addition, it is advisable to rinse your mouth with water after drinking. It would not be superfluous to have a small set of a brush and paste with you.
