Ok, bit of a panic attack here.
Durring the pandemic, i have not been to a dentist because i'm still nervous about being unmasked in public for long (I always wear a mask) and i am usually very pro tooth healthy when i chose my foods. I havent touched a drop of Soda since 2006. I only drink water, i rarely eat any sugary foods, etc but recently i was reading an article that said Crackers are worse for teeth then candy.
the past year or so I've been on a cracker binge. (Saltine Crackers with cheese cubes, cheeze its, goldfish) Now to be fair, i only eat once or twice a day (i dont need to eat any more as i dont get hungry and i dont snack throughout the course of the day) and i always rinse with water when im done and Floss and brush my teeth 45 minuets after eating every meal.
I should be in the clear for cavaties right? I put my dental heath above all things. Now i am overdue for a cleaning, but i havent noticed any signs of cavaties (I have dental OCD and i check my fillings and teeth almost daily and havent noticed anything new)
I really should start eating healthy and getting back to a much lower carb diet, but ive been severly stressed and depressed lately and crackers are a bit of a confort food.
After reading this article though i think crackers are going to join the do not touch list of foods like soda and sweets.
Thoughts?
