5 Fall Foods That Could Be Bad For Your Dental Health

dental health tipsdental health tips

We all know the dental health drill: Floss, brush, visit the dentist bi-yearly, repeat. And while that routine is the key to a healthy mouth, lesser-known culprits, like the season's trendy foods, may be working against your good-for-you habits. “Fall foods related to Halloween and Thanksgiving are high in sugars and are not so good for your teeth," Mazen Natour, DMD, a Manhattan-based prosthodontist says. It's safe to say that moderately indulging won't cause the Austin Powers effect, but just in case, go easy on these autumn favorites.

Caramel Apples

“Caramel is probably the worst food for your mouth," says Natour. The pure sugar coating, which can cause cavities, crystalizes in a pan and becomes rock hard, putting you at risk for chipping. If you must take a bite, brush shortly after consumption. “It actually removes the layers of sugars that are ammunition for the plaque that is already coating teeth, preventing further damage," he adds.

Candy

It's not about having a mini Snickers or two, it's about having 367 of 'em. “Not only is candy made of pure sugars and artificial coloring agents that are completely unhealthy for teeth; the quantity that is distributed around Halloween is astonishing! I mean, it's a competition who gets more," says Natour. Be extra conscious about what you — or your kids — eat, and clock those dental hygiene visits (maybe make it a double this time of year?).

Chestnuts, Macadamia Nuts, and Nuts With Shells

Let those chestnuts just roast on the open fire since snacking on them can cause chips and fractures. “These autumn favorites can cause serious damage to your teeth as they can be hard as a rock," adds Natour. Instead, whip up a mouth-friendly fall smoothie.

Booze

Cider in itself can do a number on your pearly whites, but add booze to the mix and it's a lethal combo. Although the seasonal beverage has a high acidity level that can cause tooth decay, we tend to forget about moderation when the drinks are spiked. “Drinks with liqueurs, which are very popular around this time of year, are high in sugars," says Natour. Minimize the damage by rinsing well if a toothbrush isn't handy.

Cranberries

The seemingly harmless berry, whether served as a fruit, juice, or as a Turkey Day side, stains the heck out of your enamel. “And because it's mostly consumed with additives and sugars, it also has a negative effect on teeth," he explains. The good news for cranberry lovers? Some research suggests that 100 percent pure cranberry juice, though hard to find and bitter on its own, might be beneficial to your smile.

Whether you're celebrating with your significant other for the first time or the tenth, you've probably already given some thought to your Valentine's Day dinner ideas. You'll be hungry by the time the sun sets, whether you've spent the whole day together, or you've just come back from the best date night ever. These recipes are perfect for ending the night on a delicious note or they can serve as your date night — cooking together is a super fun way to spend your time.

You can show your favorite valentine love with DIY Valentine's gifts, pink cocktails, fruit salad, or you can whip up a fancy-schmancy (and romantic) dinner. You can try the same recipe until it's just right, or experiment with a different pick every night of February. No matter what your favorite cuisine is, there's something for everyone.

Here are our favorite Valentine's Day dinner ideas for a date night meal to remember.

​What is a good Valentine's Day dinner?

A good Valentine's Day dinner is anything that is delicious and romantic, and that will change for every couple (or if you're alone!). V Day is always a good excuse to cook up a steak if you and your partner eat meat, but pasta or seafood are also great ideas. Or go for a surf and turf dinner that incorporates all of them. You can also add aphrodisiacs into the menu, but whatever you pick, don't forget dessert!

What is the Valentine's Day menu?

Your Valentine's Day menu is totally up to you and your partners' tastes. You can check out what's local to your area if you want to have a menu that reflects this time of year in your state. In terms of courses, you can opt for dinner and dessert or go all out with an appetizer, entrée, drinks, and dessert.

What to make for a romantic dinner at home?

Here are some popular Valentine's Day foods you can consider making:

  • Steak
  • Seafood
  • Chocolate
  • Pasta
  • Sushi
  • Wine
  • Fish
  • Crème brûlée
  • Strawberries
