Can healthy food be bad for your mouth?

We all know that certain foods are better for your body than others, but did you know that certain foods are better for your gums and teeth than others?

For example, foods that are high in calcium are good for your teeth because they help to protect the enamel.

Other surprising examples are fruits and vegetables. While fruits and vegetables are good for your body, they are only good for your teeth in moderation. Fruits and veggies with high water content are better for you than more acidic foods like citruses and tomatos. The acid in some produce causes the enamel on your teeth to wear quicker. It is recommended that you eat them in a larger meal to prevent erosion.
