Usually, when talking about unhealthy foods, many people remember chocolate, candy and other desserts, as well as alcohol.

However, not everyone knows that there are other categories of products that also negatively affect the condition of teeth.

Dr. Magomed Dakhkilgov told Gazeta.Ru about this in more detail.

The dentist added that there is another group of products that are harmful to gums and teeth.

Dakhkilgov explained that there is no need to give up such products, but it is enough to follow the rules of hygiene and visit the dentist on time to prevent problems.
