Is fruit bad for your teeth??


Question: Is fruit bad for your teeth? I'd imagine they're similar to sweets and I can't think of a reason why natural sugar would be better for your teeth than proccessed sugars.

Do you know?
Answers: Certain fruits do contain a lot of acid...citrus fruits especially. If they are eaten and the teeth not cleaned afterwards, or even the mouth rinsed out with something like water, then yes, fruits can be as bad for your teeth as is confectionery, candy or anything containing processed sugars.

BTW... soft drinks are the worst for your teeth...it is ridiculous the amount of sugar they contain!
Fruit is better then candy.
NO WAY!
Fruit sugar won't harm anyone. It's obviously better than candy..
Fruit in and of itself, is not bad for your teeeth. However the natural sugars contain in fruit, may affect your teeth, as would any sugar that is left on your teeth.
The sugar you are referring to is fructose.
don't think so
