Dentists Reveal the Worst Fruits for Tooth Decay
While"an apple a day keeps the doctor away," it might not save you from a trip to the dentist. Four dental experts have toldwhat kind of fruit can cause serious tooth decay, and how any damage can be prevented or reversed.
"In our opinion, just like any food group, it is advisable to moderate how much you consume as part of a varied diet," Patel said. It is possible to go overboard with how much fruit you're consuming. Dr. Tyler Hales, founder of Hales Parker Dentistry, told"Due to the level of acidity of these fruits, it causes the enamel of the tooth structure to weaken and slowly erode. I had a young patient in her late 20s come into the office with almost no tooth structure on her front teeth because every morning she would eat a grapefruit. That consistent daily habit caused the teeth to wear away at an abnormal rate.
Dr. Jeffrey Sulitzer, Chief Clinical Officer at SmileDirectClub, said that most acidic fruits can eat away at enamel and make your teeth more vulnerable to cavities, chips and long-term decay.:"Certain fruits and berries can stain your teeth too. A general rule of thumb is if something can stain your clothes, it can stain your teeth."
