Everyone dreams of a beautiful smile and does not want to spend a lot of money on paying for dental services.

In this case, it is important not only to perform all necessary hygiene procedures in a timely manner, but also to control your diet.

The fact is that some foods and drinks can negatively affect the condition of tooth enamel.

What to be careful with

Tea

Many people know that a healthy drink can cause persistent plaque. However, it is also worth remembering that drinking it in large quantities can harm the enamel.

Coffee has a similar feature.

Pickled cucumbers and tomatoes

These products can be consumed in reasonable quantities, but if there is an excess of them in the diet, the condition of the enamel worsens. This is explained by the fact that the products contain vinegar.

Sour berries and fruits

In general, they are very healthy, but after eating them, you should at least rinse your mouth. Ideally, you should brush your teeth.

Chips and croutons

These products can often "hide" in cracks and spaces between teeth, which will become an ideal habitat for bacteria.
