Here are some some that you should avoid when you want to gain healthy teeth.
1. Some starchy foods.
Starches also raise acid levels from bacteria in the mouth, eroding tooth enamel. Starchy foods include breads, pastas, rice and potatoes. The more refined or cooked a starch, the more likely it is to raise acid levels in the mouth. Raw starches in the form of vegetables tend not to endanger tooth enamel.
2. Candy and highly-sweetened snacks.
Most candies are loaded with sugar, which increases acid levels from bacteria in the mouth. Sticky and gummy candies pose the biggest threat, since they adhere to teeth, making it hard for saliva to wash them away.
3. Sugary drinks.
When bacteria in the mouth break down simple sugars, they produce acids. These can erode tooth enamel, creating pits where cavities can form. Sugary drinks, soft drinks consist almost entirely of simple sugars which is not healthy for the teeth.
