  1. When you want to keep the enamel on your teeth healthy and beautiful, there are a few things that you should avoid eating.

  2. Certain foods can damage your teeth in a variety of ways, including:  Chipping the enamel  Discoloring the enamel  Creating plaque on the enamel

  3.  Decaying the enamel  Creating cracks in the enamel  Eroding the enamel

  4. Avoid eating foods from the following list. It will be helpful in protecting your teeth from damage.

  5. FOODS THAT YOU SHOULD AVOID EATING

  6. DAMAGING FOOD #1 CORN, TORTILLA AND POTATO CHIPS

  7. Eating potato, tortilla or corn chips occasionally is okay. But eating them frequently can create a buildup of plaque on your teeth.

  8. These foods contain high amounts of oils and ingredients that tend to stick to your teeth, especially along the gums.

  9. When you do eat these snacks, make sure to brush and floss your teeth right away.

  10. DAMAGING FOOD #2 ORANGES, GRAPEFRUIT AND TANGERINES

  11. Citrus fruit contain numerous nutrients that your body needs. But the acid in these foods can also damage the enamel on your teeth.

  12. The fibers in these fruits can protect your teeth. So, it is better to eat the whole fresh citrus fruit rather than drinking only the juice.

  13. After eating an orange for a snack, swish water around in your mouth to remove the acids that can erode your tooth enamel.

  14. DAMAGING FOOD #3 HARD BAGELS AND ROLLS

  15. Soft bread made from whole grains is good for your teeth. Hard rolls and bagels, however, can damage the enamel.

  16. If you can’t resist eating one occasionally, then tear it into small pieces and put into your mouth before chewing.

  17. This is better than biting on the foods with your front teeth.

  18. DAMAGING FOOD #4 STICKY, HARD AND GUMMY CANDIES

  19. If you consume a lot of candy, then you probably are ingesting too much sugar which promotes tooth decay.

  20. In addition, gummy, hard and sticky candies can chip your teeth. Then, after eating candy, you may notice a lot of food debris between your teeth.

  21. Make sure to use an oral irrigator that emits highly pressurized water into your mouth. It’s very important for oral health.

  22. DAMAGING FOOD #5 CHERRIES, POMEGRANATES AND BLACKBERRIES

  23. To keep your teeth whiter, avoid eating colorful fruit such as:  Blackberries  Pomegranates  Cherries

  24. These fruits will stain your teeth, leading to hard-to-remove discolorations. If you do eat these fruits, brush your teeth thoroughly afterwards.

  25. If there are some stains you just can’t remove, then it’s time to visit your family dentist and have your teeth whitened professionally.

  26. DAMAGING FOOD #6 TOUGH PIECES OF MEAT

  27. When you chew on tough pieces of meat, it is possible to damage the enamel on your teeth.

  28. If you notice that your teeth hurt after you eat pork chops, it is likely the difficult-to-chew fibers have damaged the enamel.

  29. Another risk when eating meat is biting down on a bone. This can lead to cracks or chips on your teeth.

  30. Cook meat until it is tender to make it easier for you to chew.

  31. If you are seeking professional dental advice, it's time to call Shumway Dental Care.

  32. Their Chandler dentists will ask you questions, examine you, and determine exactly what needs to be done to get you back to normal.
