It\u2019s commonly thought of as a healthy snack because it\u2019s low in calories and can be easily snacked on without bloating or feeling weighed down. However, popcorn is very hard on your teeth. It creates lactic acid in your mouth. And before you can even pick out the kernels, that acid starts to work on your teeth. If you do snack on popcorn, rinse your mouth frequently with water and have a toothpick on hand to quickly pick out the pieces. Some sugar free gum can also be helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"706\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/eagledentalcare.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/Eagle-Dental-Care-Eating-Popcorn-706x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eagledentalcare.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/Eagle-Dental-Care-Eating-Popcorn-706x1024.jpg 706w, https:\/\/eagledentalcare.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/Eagle-Dental-Care-Eating-Popcorn-207x300.jpg 207w, https:\/\/eagledentalcare.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/Eagle-Dental-Care-Eating-Popcorn-768x1114.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eagledentalcare.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/Eagle-Dental-Care-Eating-Popcorn.jpg 1412w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\" \/><figcaption>Eating popcorn can cause lasting damage to your teeth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s almost impossible to eat popcorn without getting some stuck in your teeth, you can act quickly to help mitigate any damage. With a healthy flossing you should be able to get those thin husks out from between your teeth. The word <em>healthy<\/em> needs to be emphasized, because unfortunately, if you don\u2019t clean them out it can lead to infection and even an abscess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And furthermore, those hard, unpopped kernels are very good at breaking and cracking teeth. Be careful as you devour a big handful, especially if it\u2019s at the bottom of the bag. Cracked teeth usually means you\u2019ll be in need of a crown which equals a hefty bill from the dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess what we\u2019re trying to say is, be careful while eating popcorn and make sure to take the necessary steps to not allow it to damage your teeth.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many reasons why one should avoid eating popcorn.
