Sugar and dental health: What you should know

Sugar is not only found in sweets, but also hides in many everyday products like bread, cereal, or ready-made sauces. In the mouth, bacteria convert sugar into acid, which attacks the enamel and leads to cavities in the long run. Starchy foods can also damage teeth as they break down into sugar.

Important measures to protect teeth include:

• Consume sugar as infrequently as possible instead of often in small amounts

• Rinse with water after eating

• Regular dental care including interdental cleaning

• Use of remineralizing toothpaste

• Use of modern tools such as the WhyteDOT. sonic toothbrush

Conclusion: Sugar alone isn't to blame – the right dental care and a conscious approach in everyday life are crucial.
