It's not how much sugar, it's how often
Frequency matters more than quantity. Small changes to when you snack can protect your enamel.
Every time you eat or drink something sugary, bacteria produce acid that softens enamel for about 30 minutes. Sip a sweet drink all afternoon and your teeth never get to recover.
Easy swaps
- Keep sweet foods to mealtimes.
- Drink water between meals.
- Choose cheese, nuts or crunchy vegetables as snacks.
And wait 30 minutes after acidic foods before brushing.
