9. Munching on dried fruit

Another pretty harmful habit is munching on dried fruit. All dried fruits are sticky, just like gummy bears, and, yeah, they contain lots of sugar too. Katz says that regular sugar consumption feeds the bacteria that develop cavities, plaque, bad breath, and gum disease.

10. Opting for the hardest toothbrush
