For many people, it\u2019s something hard or crunchy. For others, it\u2019s something chewy or gooey. There are an endless number of foods out there, but not all of them are made the same. Some of them have the potential to cause some serious damage to your smile by leaving your teeth chipped or cracked. To avoid a damaged beam, continue reading to learn about some foods that can chip teeth, why a chipped tooth is dangerous, and what to eat instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Foods To Watch Out For&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Practicing good oral hygiene at home, visiting your dentist biannually for checkups and cleanings, and limiting the amount of sugar you consume are all great ways to keep your smile healthy. They aren\u2019t the only ways, though. Avoiding foods that can chip teeth or being extra careful when eating them is also important. Some foods to look out for include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Olives, peaches, avocados, cherries, and other&nbsp;fruits and veggies with large pits<\/li><li>Baguettes, pretzels, biscotti, and other hard or crusty breads<\/li><li>Beef jerky and other dried meats&nbsp;<\/li><li>Popcorn kernels&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Corn on the cob&nbsp;<\/li><li>Nuts and seeds&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Hard candy<\/li><li>Ice cubes<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dangers of Chipped Teeth&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A chipped tooth does more than make your smile look lopsided. For one, the sharp edges that a chipped tooth creates may cut your cheeks, tongue, or gums. A chip may also allow a cavity to form. If the ship is deep enough, harmful bacteria may be allowed into the tooth. This can lead to a serious infection. The only way to treat an infected tooth is with a root canal. Though this procedure is virtually painless, it\u2019s best to prevent the chip from forming in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Eat Instead&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, a chipped tooth is more serious than you might think. There are several safer snacks that can take the place of ones that can damage your smile, such as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Fresh fruits and veggies <\/strong>\u2013 Apples, carrots, and celery give your smile the nutrients it needs to stay healthy and won\u2019t leave it chipped.<\/li><li><strong>Cheese and lunch meat<\/strong> \u2013These make a great snack and are dentist approved.<\/li><li><strong>Soft nuts <\/strong>\u2013 Almonds and other soft nuts are good for your teeth and won\u2019t damage your beam.<\/li><li><strong>Water <\/strong>\u2013 Instead of chewing on ice cubes, drink a glass of cool, refreshing ice water. This won\u2019t crack your teeth and will help keep your mouth moist.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping your smile in good condition is key to avoiding oral health issues down the line. By avoiding or being extra careful when eating foods that can chip teeth, you can keep your smile happy, healthy, and bright!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Island City Dental is based in Wilton Manors and treats patients in the surrounding communities with exceptional, effective, and efficient services.
