The specialist recalled that sugar contributes to the development of caries, so it is recommended to limit the consumption of sweets and rinse your mouth after eating them. The same should be done after drinking carbonated drinks.
Avtandilyan emphasized that nuts and crackers are also harmful due to their hard texture, which can damage tooth enamel.
Chips and other snacks containing starch and sugar are also unhealthy.
“Moreover, particles of carbohydrate foods can stick to the surface of the teeth and linger in the periodontal grooves, creating an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria that contribute to the development of caries,” the dentist emphasized.
