Think cavities only come from sugar? Not quite.
Foods like chips, crackers, bread and other starchy snacks contain carbohydrates that oral bacteria can break down into acids. These acids can gradually weaken tooth enamel and contribute to cavities.
You don’t have to avoid these foods completely. The key is to be mindful of how often you snack and keep up with regular brushing, flossing and dental checkups.
Your teeth care about more than just the sugar you eat. 🦷
