\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Your tooth enamel is the strongest substance in your whole body. Even so, it isn\u2019t very flexible, so it can be prone to chipping or cracking. Slips and sports could possibly do this, but some foods could do it too! It may be hard to believe that your pearly whites can break by doing their job, but it\u2019s true. Hard foods lead to chipped teeth and your dentist<\/a> will need to help fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to learn which foods pose the most danger to your teeth, continue reading. You\u2019ll find a top five most dangerous list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Ice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A favorite pastime for some people is chewing on fresh ice cubes. Whether it\u2019s at a restaurant or the movies, there\u2019s something about them that makes them appealing to munch on. Surprisingly, they\u2019re also one of the worst offenders for chipped teeth as repeated crunching wears down and breaks enamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Popcorn<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of the movies, there\u2019s nothing better than a handful of buttery popcorn to complete the experience. While there\u2019s nothing wrong with the fluffy outer portion of popcorn, the kernels are a different story. These tiny, ultra-hard cores are notorious for sticking in teeth and even causing chips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Jerky<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jerky is a tasty protein-based snack that comes in a variety of flavors. You can pick it up at almost any grocery store or gas station. While for some it\u2019s a necessary road trip staple, you may want to reconsider picking it up if you\u2019re tooth-conscious. The tough, chewy meat is known to cause chipping and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Pit Seeds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These little seeds are the pits! Olives, peaches, cherries, and many other fruits and berries have large hard cores that can damage teeth if bitten. Try to get versions of these that have had the pit removed and be careful while eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Hard Candy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While some of these other entries may have been surprising, this last one shouldn\u2019t be. Hard candy is double trouble for your teeth. Not only does the sugar they\u2019re made of feed bacterial plaque and cause cavities, but the hard outer shell can chip or even crack your teeth! There\u2019s a good reason some of these hard candies are called \u201cjawbreakers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your teeth are strong and serve the purpose of breaking down food well. It\u2019s in your best interest to keep them healthy and strong by avoiding or minimizing the amount of these foods you consume. If you do chip your tooth, don\u2019t panic. Call your dentist and schedule an appointment as soon as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
