When you bite into your salty popcorn, delicious peach, or hardy protein bar, the last thing on your mind is your dentist. That is, until you feel your teeth come down on something hard, radiating pain throughout your mouth. Unfortunately, all it takes is one wrong bite for your otherwise pleasant day to turn into a stressful trip to your emergency dentist\u2019s<\/a> office. To help prevent that from happening, keep reading to learn four foods that can chip teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. Popcorn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This classic snack is loved by movie lovers and health enthusiasts alike. After all, it\u2019s got a great crunch and isn\u2019t loaded with sugar! However, it\u2019s important to exercise caution since unpopped kernels can be hard to spot. As a result, your teeth may bite down, expecting a soft, fluffy kernel, only to crack against the pressure of a hard one. To avoid this, reach for only one or two pieces at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Hard Candy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From lollipops to lemon drops, hard candies are meant to be savored. Unfortunately, prolonged exposure to sugar can significantly increase your risk of cavities. The alternative of biting into the candy doesn\u2019t serve you either since your teeth can chip or crack in the process. Therefore, it\u2019s best to avoid these treats altogether. When you do indulge, make sure to drink plenty of water and complete your oral hygiene routine before turning in for the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Foods with Pits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cherries and peaches are just a few foods that are packed with nutrients, making them a great morning or afternoon snack. Sadly, the hard inner pit poses a serious risk to your teeth. Even if you buy some with the \u201cpits removed\u201d label, be cautious. Make sure to look for pits beforehand and chew slowly. This will prevent you from experiencing the shock of accidentally biting into one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. Nutrition Bars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nutritional bars are a great snack for those looking to get essential vitamins and nutrients on-the-go. It is important to remember, however, that many of the ingredients have the potential to crack your tooth, especially if you aren\u2019t paying attention while you eat. It\u2019s helpful to avoid bars that have hard nuts or tough granola in them. Instead, stick to alternatives that contain softer ingredients, like blended peanuts or dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re enjoying your first meal of the day or settling onto the couch with a bowl of popcorn to cap off your evening, the last thing you want is to crack your tooth in the process. Fortunately, you can help prevent that from happening by exercising caution with the above foods!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
