General dentists do not necessarily recommend avoiding sugar completely, but they do strongly advise limiting your sugar intake and practicing good oral hygiene. Sugar feeds the bacteria in your mouth that produce acids, which erode tooth enamel and cause cavities. Drinking water after eating sugary foods can help wash away sugar. Brushing twice daily and flossing once a day helps remove plaque and bacteria. If you do consume sugar, try to do so with meals rather than snacking throughout the day, as this gives your saliva time to neutralize acids.
