1 - Foods containing a sugar content of more than 15-20%.
2 - Sweets that stick to teeth such as honey, molasses, chewing sweets or raisins, which keep these foods on the teeth longer than other sugars.
3. Slow-soluble sugars, such as slow-melting sweets, expose your teeth to sugar longer than foods eaten quickly.
4 - Sweets that are eaten alone, where saliva is produced when a person eats a meal to wash the teeth of sugars.
5 - sweets that are eaten before bed, unless you clean your teeth after eating, otherwise the sugar will remain on the teeth until the next morning.
6 - Foods containing carbohydrates and sugars together, such as biscuits, cake and other baked sweets, causing tooth decay.
