“Don’t eat sugar, you’ll get cavities!” A saying every parent says to their child ! Right .
While sugar is a big player, it’s not the only culprit. Cavities form when bacteria in your mouth feed on carbohydrates (not just sugar) and produce acid that erodes enamel.
This means chips, bread, crackers, and even raisins can be just as harmful if they stick to teeth and aren’t cleaned properly. Major risk happens with Frequent snacking, poor brushing habits, dry mouth, and weak enamel — even if you don’t have a sweet tooth.
