Every person wants to have a snow-white and healthy smile. But achieving such an effect is difficult. It is not enough to simply maintain daily hygiene, it is also important not to neglect problems and undergo treatment or preventive examinations in time.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account that some food products are very harmful for teeth. Dentist Roman Korolev spoke about this in more detail.

In the list of the most harmful products, he singled out sugar as the first.

"Sweets most often cause damage to tooth enamel and the appearance of caries. In addition, bacteria in the oral cavity convert sugar into acid, which causes the destruction of the structure of teeth," Gazeta.Ru quotes the doctor as saying.

Therefore, you should reduce the amount of chocolate, candy and other treats in your diet. It is also advisable to give up soda and stop adding or reduce the amount of sugar added to tea or coffee.

If you still can’t give them up completely, then after each snack you need to rinse your mouth or use dental floss, and brush your teeth.

White wine is also harmful to teeth. The drink causes microcracks. It's all about acids.

If you want to drink a glass of red wine with dinner, you should brush your teeth beforehand so that the sugar does not stick to the enamel.

All acidic drinks and foods also damage enamel.
