Cut the Sweet Acid

Pucker up with sour candy and you risk ruining your smile, says a new Minnesota Dental Association report on tooth enamel erosion. Treats like Sour Skittles, Super Lemon, and some flavoured Altoids are high in acids that strip away teeth's protective surface.
Dentist Robert J. Marolt offers this advice:
>Rinse right away. Swishing water in your mouth after a candy helps wash away acid.
>Wait a half hour to brush. The acid of a sour candy softens the fragile surface of the teeth. Brushing immediately after eating one could cause damage.
>Skip fruit flavours. Lemon, grapes, and cherry destroy more enamel than do mint and cinnamon, which are lower in acid.
>Switch to sugar-free gum. It can satisfy your oral urge while stimulating saliva flow, which protects enamel.
