Every time you eat, bacteria in your mouth produce acids that attack enamel. Constant snacking, especially on sugary foods, increases acid exposure and the risk of cavities.
Eating balanced meals and limiting between-meal snacks gives your enamel time to recover. Include protein, fiber, and dairy in meals to help protect teeth while satisfying hunger. Timing your meals wisely is just as important as what you eat.
