If you want to keep a snow-white and healthy smile for a long time, you should remember not only about timely oral hygiene, but also about proper nutrition.

However, some products have a destructive effect and damage the enamel.

First of all, we are talking about sweets.

Dentist Lyutsiya Rozakova told RT more about this.

In the list of harmful sweets that destroy teeth, she included not only regular chocolates or candies, but also drinks with sugar: soda, tea with added sugar, juices and compotes.

But it is necessary to take into account that even one sip of a sweet drink starts the process of acid secretion by bacteria of dental plaque. As a result, caries begins.

If you really don't want to give up your favorite drink, you can reduce the harm. To do this, you need to brush your teeth, no less than half an hour after drinking.

Rozakova also reminded that one should not forget about solid food. These products help mechanically clean teeth from plaque.
