Question: I avoid sugary foods to
protect my teeth, but I just heard citrus fruits are bad too! Is this true?
Answer: It’s great that you are avoiding foods high in sugar, but unfortunately even citrus fruit can be too much of a good thing. If citrus is in constant contact with your teeth it can erode and soften enamel. Lemons and limes are especially corrosive to tooth enamel. A simple way to protect your teeth is to drink a glass of water after consuming citrus. If you are need of dental exam and cleaning call 800-4-Braces today.
