#1: Timing matters
Timing
matters. While everything is fine in moderation, it helps to eat sweets
and other sugary foods with meals or shortly after mealtime. Saliva
production increases during meals and helps cancel out acids produced by
bacteria in your mouth and helps rinse away food particles.
#2: Be picky if it's sticky
When
it comes to picking healthy snacks, many people put dried fruit at the
top of the list. But many dried fruits are sticky and sticky foods tend
to stay on the teeth longer than other types of food. If you find
yourself eating a lot of dried fruits such as cranberries, make sure to
rinse with water and brush carefully.
