Foods To Avoid While Wearing Orthodontic Braces...
 You can eat just about anything, but there are some exceptions.
At Southdale Family Dentistry, we feel that getting used
to braces also usually means making a few adjustments in your eating habits.
This is because some food might damage your braces or cause problems for your
teeth. Here's a list of items to avoid (or some ways they can still be enjoyed
with caution):
 |
Apples (don't bite into a whole one! Cut it into wedges first.) |
|
|
Bubble gum |
|
|
Candy (caramels, taffy, nut brittles, fruit-flavored chewy candies, gummi anything!) |
|
|
Carrots (avoid sticks, cut into small pieces)
|
|
|
Corn on the cob (remove the kernels from the cob, then enjoy!)
|
|
|
Hard foods (they're tough on braces, causing bending and breaking) |
|
|
Ice (no crunching!) |
|
|
Sticky foods (can bend wires and pull off brackets) |
|
|
Sugary foods (avoid these as much as possible; if you do eat them, brush your teeth within minutes or as soon as possible, or at least rinse your mouth with water) |
|
For more information about how we at Southdale Family Dentistry can help you with
