6 Things Your Dentist NEVER Puts in His Mouth

Hard candies

“Hard candy lingers in the mouth for a long time as you wait for it to dissolve and deliver sugary goodness,” says Dr. Rozenberg. “It could take up to 10 minutes for some hard candies to dissolve and there are no health benefits associated with hard candy.” If you’re not patient enough to wait until the candy is dissolved, chewing on it can lead to cracked teeth and cuts on the inside of the mouth.

 

Potato chips

They may be tasty and satisfying (at least while they’re still in our mouth), but potato chips are no good for your chompers. “They’re loaded with starch, which becomes sugar that can get trapped in and between the teeth and feed the bacteria in the plaque,” says Dr. Rozenberg. “Since we rarely have just one, the acid production from the chips lingers and lasts a while.”
