Just because food is labeled “natural” doesn’t mean it's good for your teeth. Sweeteners like honey, agave, and maple syrup feed the same bacteria that cane sugar does. In fact, their sticky texture can help them cling to teeth longer and cause cavities. Protect your oral health by limiting how often you consume natural sweeteners.
