Some of the greatest pleasures of summer are the wonderful foods that become available during this season of fun in the sun: hot corn on the cob, salt water taffy, peanut brittle, kettle corn – they all scream summer fun.
But they can also do a real number on your teeth.
Read below for some typical foods freely available in the summer that can harm your teeth.
One of summer’s greatest pleasures is enjoying hot corn on the cob slathered in butter. But those kernels can be very unfriendly to your teeth.
We certainly don’t want to be a summertime Scrooge and tell you that you absolutely shouldn’t enjoy these delicious foods at all. But forewarned is fore-armed: decide for yourself. Certainly having the occasional box of Cracker Jack or an Abba-Zaba bar won’t do too much – if any damage.
What’s more, it’s often easy to make just a few adjustments in order to enjoy summer’s delicious bounty. You could, for example, remove the corn kernels from the cob before eating. Cut the apple into slices. Cut a taffy bar or peanut brittle into really small pieces, and so on.
You should indulge in the glorious foods of summer; we’re just advising that you be careful not to overindulge.

Oh! that's an informative news! Drinking sodas or eating sweets once in a while is not actually a problem, as long as it is only once in a while. Carbonated beverages contain chromogens and acid that can discolor the teeth even if it does not contain dark food coloring. Keeping your teeth healthy will keep your smile pretty.
