The Effects of Sugar on Your Teeth and Why It’s Bad for You
We’ve all heard that sugar causes cavities, but many people don’t understand why sugar is terrible for your teeth. It’s not the sugar itself that’s the problem, but the bacteria that thrive on it. Sugar by itself is not harmful to your teeth. What it does is give a convenient supply of nourishment for the harmful bacteria in your mouth, which then produce acids as a byproduct that can harm your teeth. You may reduce this process in your mouth by restricting your sugar intake, which will result in fewer dental cavities in the future. When sugars from food mix with plaque bacteria, acids form and those breakdown enamel. Acid attacks eventually cause tooth decay over time. How can you avoid decay?
Limit sticky sweets. Avoid sipping sweetened beverages all day. Rinse with water immediately after eating or drinking something sugary. Brush twice a day. Visit your dentist at least twice a year.

Happy First day of Fall. From now until the winter solstice, the days will get shorter and shorter.
