Cosmetic dentist in Silver Spring, Dr. Alan Wolcott, Discusses the 18 Habits that could be Destroying Your Pearly Whites, PART 2

9. Chewing gummy candy: “If you’ve got a sweet tooth, chocolate is the way to go,” says cosmetic dentist in Silver Spring, Dr. Alan Wolcott. “Gummy candy gets stuck in the cusps of your teeth, prolonging the exposure of its sugary content to your dental enamel. The molecules that make up chocolate are covered with fat, which discourages them from sticking around and they tend to get washed away more easily.”

10. Drinking sports and energy drinks: Full of acid and sugar! Try to limit your intake and opt instead for water if you’re really thirsty.

11. Fruit juices: Again: full of acid and sugar! Fruit juice should be seen as a treat or a healthy snack. Not a thirst quencher.

12. Indulging in starchy snacks: Such as potato chips – these tend to get stuck in the cusps of your teeth and stick around your mouth for longer. Since starchy foods are easily metabolized into sugar, they tend to fuel bacterial growth in your mouth.

13. Constantly snacking throughout the day: Eating increases the acidity of your mouth. By constantly eating, you expose your teeth to a steady barrage of acid and sugar, which encourages bacteria to flourish. After eating a square meal, you should brush your teeth and try not to snack for a few hours.

14. Chewing on the end of your pen or pencil: It can damage your teeth!

15. Tobacco-use (smoking and chewing): “The harmful effects of smoking on your oral health are well documented in medical literature, says the cosmetic dentist in Silver Spring. “Tobacco-use causes gum disease, tooth loss and oral cancer, amongst a host of other whole body illnesses.”

16. Drinking lots of tea and coffee:
These beverages stain your teeth. Try to limit your intake.

17. Red, red wine: Also incredibly staining and the alcohol content can cause “dry mouth,” which leaves your teeth more susceptible to bacteria.

18. White, white wine: Although it’s not as staining as red wine, white wine is very acidic and this can soften your dental enamel, leaving it more vulnerable to erosion.
