Carbohydrates are chipping away at your pearly whites. Help win the battle against tooth decay with these simple methods.If you're not in the habit of brushing your teeth after meals, you should start now. When carbohydrates, such as bread and pasta, get caught between your teeth, they eventually break down into simple sugars, leaving residue on your pearly whites. This residue can destroy the enamel on your teeth if it isn't brushed away within a few hours. Carry a toothbrush with you at all times or just leave an extra one in your desk at work. If you're always on the go and you don't have a spare minute to brush, make a point of crunching on an apple or some celery sticks after you eat. These abrasive foods can help clean your teeth naturally in lieu of a toothbrush and some elbow grease. Bookmark:            Trackback(0)
