Let s take a trip to the kitchen and see what s good, bad or ugly for your teeth – Also Read - Women and dental health: Looking after your teeth through the years

1. Onions

Verdict: Awesome

Onion is famous for more than just the amazing flavor it adds to our food it naturally cleanses the body and mouth by eliminating bacteria. However, following an onion-rich meal with some mint might be a good idea.

2. Achaar/pickles

Verdict: Not good

Vinegar and other preservatives used in the pickling process make these foods highly acidic. It s best to eat these in moderation.

3. Sesame seeds

Verdict: Great

These tiny seeds are rich in calcium and help keep your teeth healthy and strong. Besides, sesame seeds dissolve plaque.

4. Dried fruit

Verdict: Thumbs down

Dried fruits are sticky and high in sugar. That means they not only stick to teeth easily, but the sugar feeds the bacteria in the mouth. As bacteria feed on sugar, they excrete acid leading to dental erosion.Try to avoid overeating.

5. Curry

Verdict: Nope

Although a must in most Indian meals, curries contain spices and ingredients which can make it quite acidic. Be sure to rinse your mouth thoroughly after you indulge.

A recent study has shown that more than one-third of the population may be suffering from tooth sensitivity, a condition characterized by the inability to tolerate hot and cold foods. If you re suffering from sensitive teeth, it s best to switch to a special sensitivity toothpaste such as Sensodyne, India s #1 Dentist recommended sensitivity toothpaste. Also, schedule an appointment with your dentist right away!
