Grinding teeth?

Why do I always feel like grinding my teeth after I eat something sweet with alot of sugar like candy?

Grinding teeth?
The acid in the candy etches your tooth, so it makes it feel chalky. The gel the dentist uses to prep (or etch) your tooth is phosphoric acid, also something you find in Sour Patch Kids. Sweets are very acidic, so the sweeter it is, likely the more acidic it will be. Just as when a dentist preps your tooth, it gives the tooth a chalky appearance. This is because it removes the thin layer called biofilm (contains bacteria, saliva, etc. - kinda slimy) so that the materials will bond to the tooth. The candy has acted similarly, making them feel chalky like you want to grit your teeth. Happens with grapes too.





Don%26#039;t grit your teeth ding-dong. Now is also not a good time to brush them. They are very soft and susceptible. You need to rinse with fluoride, wait about 10 min. and then brush.
Reply:Well, its because of the surgar brakes down and acts like a solvent on your teeth and out of habit you grind your teeth.
