Sugar feeds the bacteria around your teeth more than other foods, and makes them healthy and grow fast. The bacteria, meanwhile, produce an acid that eats through the tooth enamel. Sticky sugars like Gummi Bears are worst, because they stick to the teeth, and are hard to wash off with saliva or water.

Any time a person eats sweets, they should swish water around the mouth and teeth to wash off the sugar.
