Sticky Cavity Causing Foods [Infographic]

1. Cookies

Cookies contain both starch and sugar; which can lead to high acid production by plaque in our mouth and more cavities.

2. Dried Fruit

Dried fruit may sound like a healthy snack, but the stickiness makes it linger longer than a healthier choice such as fresh fruit.

3. Chips

Chips are really sticky, and while one wouldn’t think they cause cavities, the starch eventually breaks down to sugar in our mouths.

4. Crackers

Dried flour products such as crackers are an easy, go to, no mess snack. Just like chips they also contain high levels of starch.

5. Cereal

Most cereals that appeal to children contain high levels of sugar and starch. Try to limit snacking on this sticky food.

6. Fruit Snacks

Fruit snacks and gummy vitamins are loaded with sugar. They’re also really sticky and more likely to remain in our mouth even with thorough brushing.
