Turmeric lattes are popular in mostly ‘hipster’ cafes, but the combination of nut milk and juiced turmeric root can stain your teeth. The bright yellow aromatic powder can bind to your teeth which causes staining and discoloration which can be particularly ageing for teeth.
2, Toffees
Toffees may be delicious but they are loaded with sugar which is one of the main causes of tooth decay. It’s easy to crack or chip a tooth whilst biting into a toffee. The sticky texture of them could also pose huge problems for people who have fillings, crowns, composite bondings or braces because they could dislodge or even pull out any of these.
3, Crackling
The crunchy bar snack and roast dinner side are high in saturated fat. But pork rind that’s fried and baked in fat isn’t just bad for your waistline, it’s also terrible for your teeth. The meaty dish can chip your teeth. Particles of these crunchy foods can also get stuck in the grooves of your teeth, causing tooth decay over time.
4, Olives
Rich in antioxidants and vitamin E, olives can be a healthy snack. But you may want to watch out for the ones with stones in. If you accidentally bite down onto a pit they can damage your teeth. It’s not just olives, any fruits with pits in can damage your teeth, from cherries and dates to peaches.
5, Gobstoppers
Made almost entirely of sugar and rock solid, these sweet treats are a nightmare to your teeth. They can cause cracks, chips and tooth decay. They stay in the mouth for a long time means that the sugar will be directly exposed to teeth for a prolonged period of time, causing tooth decay and cavities.
