Some foods and drinks can have a significant negative impact on dental health.

Coffee, tea, red wine, sodas, sports drinks, tomatoes, curry and berries contain pigments that cling to your tooth’s enamel.

Anything with a pH above or below neutral can harm enamel, says Dr. Erin Fraundorf .

Hard, unpopped popcorn can crack a tooth or damage dental implants.

Hulls can also get stuck between the teeth or irritate the gums and cause an abscess.

Drink water or chew sugar-free gum after eating to stimulate saliva and return the pH in your mouth to neutral.
