A dentist explains that some snacks often seen as healthy can harm teeth because they are sticky, acidic, or sugar-filled. Examples include dried fruit, smoothies, citrus, granola bars, and flavored yogurts, which can cause enamel erosion and cavities if consumed frequently or improperly.
Key Facts
Dried fruits like raisins and dates contain concentrated sugars and stick to teeth, feeding bacteria and causing decay.
Drinking smoothies slowly over time bathes teeth in sugar and acid, increasing cavity risk.
Citrus fruits are acidic and can erode enamel, especially if you brush teeth immediately after consuming them.
Many granola and protein bars have sticky sugars that cling to teeth and promote cavities.
Flavored yogurts often have added sugar that coats teeth and feeds harmful bacteria.
Chewing fresh fruit and rinsing with water after acidic or sugary snacks can protect teeth.
Plain yogurt and nuts are better snack options for dental health.
Brushing teeth should be delayed about 30 minutes after acidic foods or drinks to avoid enamel damage.

Authorities in Southern California are working to stop a chemical tank at an aerospace facility in Garden Grove from exploding. The tank holds a flammable chemical, and over 50,000 local residents have been evacuated as emergency crews try to cool it down and prevent a disaster.
Key Facts
The tank contains methyl methacrylate, a flammable chemical used in making plastics.
