Many people enjoy the crunch of an apple, but it can sometimes make their teeth sensitive.
So the question arises whether it is true that fruits are bad for teeth, or is it a fabrication of dentists.
Fruits and acids
Fruits contain acids that soften enamel.
This effect is especially noticeable after eating citrus fruits or pineapples.
Acid does not create holes, but it weakens the teeth's defenses. Therefore, you should not brush them immediately after eating, so as not to damage the vulnerable enamel.
Wait half an hour, rinse your mouth with water. This will eliminate the risk.
Sugar in fruits
Fruit sugar doesn't stick like caramel, but it does help bacteria grow in your mouth.
Fruits can be harmful to your teeth if you chew them continuously.
To reduce the effects of acid on enamel, simply drink water after a fruit snack.
Benefits of fruits
Apples and pears remove plaque by working like a brush. Eat fruit in the morning or afternoon, not before bed.
In general, fruits are bad for your teeth if you eat them sensibly and at the right time.
