Beware of those Cavity Culprits!

Sugar and sweets are a no-no for your waistline, but could they be wasting away your smile, too? Absolutely. In fact, your food choices affect your dental health just as significantly as they do your overall health.
The bacteria in your mouth are loving your sweet tooth, too! These bacteria feed on the sugar in candy and produce acids that attack you enamel for up to 20 minutes after each bite. So if you're snacking on candy throughout the day (and not brushing your teeth constantly at the same time), your teeth are constantly bombarded with the acids those bacteria create. Choose snacks such as cheese, yogurt and raw vegetables, or try one of these sweets that are actually good for your teeth.
Lets keep are teeth healthy and brite.
