Are your fruit habits tooth-friendly?

Citrus fruits taste good but impact tooth enamel

Fruits are full of vitamins, but citrus fruits like oranges and lemons contain natural acids. Frequent eating can soften your tooth enamel, your smile’s invisible shield.

Berries and tropical fruits increase acid exposure

Berries, mangoes and pineapple are delicious and nutritious yet their natural sugars and acids stay on teeth longer. The prolonged contact increases tooth enamel stress over time.

Concentrated acids like juices hit harder

Juicing removes fibre and concentrates acids. Sip after sip, acidic juices can cause more enamel wear than whole fruit, giving teeth less time to recover.

Dried fruits: Sticky texture, lingering acids

Dried fruits are a convenient snack, but their sticky texture clings to teeth. Meaning sugars and acids linger longer on tooth enamel, giving more time for erosion.
