Bread, crackers can cause cavities just like candy, dentist warns
A dentist warns that foods like bread and crackers can cause cavities similarly to candy due to simple carbohydrates. These carbohydrates fuel bacteria in the mouth, which produce acid that damages teeth. Rinsing with water or using xylitol-containing gum can help mitigate this risk.
