 In a culture where snacking and snack foods are practically an official past time, it is no surprise that it has its own subculture, where the colorful, extreme snack is king. Of course, they are almost always absolutely packed with every natural enemy to our teeth, and especially our teeth's natural protector, enamel. Sugar, starches and acids. Why Can't We All Just Get Along with Snacks?We aren't just feeding our bodies with all the bad things snacks have to offer, but also bacteria. And bacteria have an insatiable appetite that, left alone, won't stop until it has devoured the snack AND your enamel. The powerful one-two-three punch of starches being immediately turned into sugar by our saliva and then becoming acidic and sticking to crevices between our teeth is a round won by bacteria if we're not careful.
No matter how well you brush and floss, regular visits to our office for cleaning and care are vital to your dental health. Show that enamel some love and call us for your routine cleaning! |
