Orange juice is one of those all-time favorites at the breakfast table. While there’s nothing like the gentle zing of sunny citrus to wake you up in the morning, it’s not good for your oral health. Citrus is highly acidic (and if it contains sugar, it’s worse). It can lead to enamel erosion.
Again, if coffee is your wake-me-up beverage of choice, remember that it’s highly acidic. If you’re not planning on giving up your cup of Joe, at least remember to follow it with H20 to avoid erosion.
When you cover up those pancakes, sausage, or anything else with syrup, you’re forking tons of sugar into your mouth. Sugar coats your teeth, leads to an acid environment, and promotes cavities. Seek out something less sugary if you can.
Is sugary cereal your favorite? Unfortunately, even if it seems like it offers some benefits (like lots of vitamins and minerals), you’re still jamming sugar into your teeth. Avoid oral health problems like decay by limiting this choice.
