The foods that damage our teeth the most are things that are really sugary and/or highly acidic. Things like sodas, sweets, alcohols, for a few examples. We already consider stuff like that unhealthy without considering what they do to our teeth. And unless you’re consuming stuff like that excessively, they’re not likely to cause you too many problems as long as you’re practicing good dental hygiene.
