Should You Stay Away From Mints?

People love to eat mints because they keep your breath smelling fresh. They can be found at restaurants, in the office and really just about everywhere. And why not? They taste delicious. Unfortunately, there are some negative effects to eating mint candies. If you do enjoy them, it’s important to brush and floss your teeth on a regular basis.

Should You Stay Away From Mints?

-Eating mints can lead to cavities. Chewed pieces of these sticky candies can easily get lodged in between your teeth, which can lead to plaque and tartar buildup. This buildup can ultimately lead to a cavity.

-Mint candies contain sugar, which we all know can have a negative impact on our teeth. Indulging in a mint every once in a while isn’t a bad thing, as long as you brush and floss your teeth afterwards to prevent any remnants of this sugary candy from staying in your mouth. A great alternative to regular mints are sugar free mints. That way you can still freshen your breath while doing less damage to your teeth.
