The effects of sugar on dental health is a topic that is often underestimated. Just seconds after eating foods containing sugar, bacteria in the mouth begin to process these sugars. This creates acids that can attack tooth enamel. This process is especially relevant during the festive season, when sweets are consumed in large quantities.
The human mouth is home to a variety of bacteria that feed on sugar. These bacteria form a sticky film known as plaque that is deposited on the teeth. Plaque is difficult to remove and can only be effectively combated through regular brushing and professional teeth cleaning. The acids produced by the bacteria increase oral acidity and can dissolve tooth enamel.
Luckily, saliva plays an important role in protecting your teeth. It helps to wash away excess sugar and neutralizes the acids in the mouth. However, frequent snacking on sweets can overfeed the harmful bacteria, meaning that saliva is no longer enough to neutralize the acid. This leads to an increased risk of tooth decay.
To protect your teeth, it is advisable to reduce sugar consumption and eat sweets preferably with meals. The increased production of saliva while eating can help neutralize the acids. You should also make sure to brush your teeth regularly and floss daily to effectively remove plaque.
