No Indian festivity is complete without sweets, but we have been told since childhood that sweets are bad. This is because sweets contain a high level of acid, which is just as bad as sugar and can lead to tooth decay if left behind in the mouth. The presence of sugary foods for longer duration encourages harmful bacteria to grow in your mouth and these bacteria produce acid which can eat away at your teeth. That’s why it’s a good idea to keep foods like sugared gum in your mouth for as short time as possible. (Shutterstock)
