3. Barbecue sauce
Marinade used for barbecues make meat softer. It makes your tooth enamel soft as well. This type of sauce is sweet, thick and, if used abundantly, discolors teeth and promotes decay. There are quite a few other cooking methods and means to prepare chicken and meat and they are much less harmful.
The hint: Some recommend that you should apply a very thin layer of petroleum jelly onto your teeth before you start eating barbecued dishes. This will create a barrier between your tooth enamel and food. What you might dislike is the feeling of the jelly in your mouth. Simply brush your teeth right after eating to remove any residue.

4. Juices
This is something you would probably not expect to hear. The truth, unfortunately, is that juices contain too much sugar. When we drink them the sugars convert into acids which in turn damage teeth. Drinking juices is not as healthy as eating fruit. When you eat fruit, you at least consume fiber. While drinking juices you consume sugars only. You might say that juices are full of minerals, vitamins and nutrients. That’s true, but there are much safer sources to get vitamins than juices.
The hint: Use a straw to drink juices so that the liquid could not get in contact with your tooth enamel. Do not brush your teeth immediately after drinking your juice – the problem is that your tooth enamel becomes too soft and vulnerable. Wait at least 40 minutes and clean your teeth when they are no longer sensitive.
