Would you like to try some of that sushi from the gas station? It\u2019s probably okay to eat, but of course, there\u2019s some risk involved. That\u2019s kind of the deal when you are eating hard foods that can chip teeth. You\u2019ll likely be fine but being cautious can protect you from a big mistake that can hurt your mouth and your wallet. Keep reading to find out some foods that pose a degree of risk for requiring an emergency dentist in Beachwood<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hard Candy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chewing hard candy instead of letting it dissolve in your mouth is asking for trouble. Don\u2019t let a jawbreaker live up to its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ribs and chicken wings can be delicious but be careful with your bites when it comes to bone-in meats. Or if you use soup bones to add flavor, be sure to remove them before serving your dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main takeaway is to avoid cracking open nutshells with your teeth. Also, if you are eating something that includes shelled nuts, watch out for potential shell fragments in the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popcorn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The worry with popcorn is biting into an unpopped kernel. All it takes is a bite into one for your tooth to fracture or your filling to break. So, exercise caution and don\u2019t grab too big of a handful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corn on the Cob<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Biting into a corn cob can easily chip or fracture one of your very front teeth because their shape is not designed for biting this item. It\u2019s wise to avoid corn on the cob altogether if you have fillings, veneers, or crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hard Breads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast items like bagels and snacks like pretzels fall into this category. When eating hard breads, they are safer for your teeth if dipped into olive oil or butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nutrition Bars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the surface, a nutrition bar seems fine for teeth. However, it\u2019s the hidden threat of a piece of nutshell or an ultra-hard chunk of dried fruit that is the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cherries, olives, and peaches are some potential sources of pit problems. Don\u2019t trust labels that say, \u201cpits removed,\u201d since the risk of cracking your tooth on a pit is still high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chewing ice cubes can cause microscopic, hairline fractures in your teeth. Over time, the cracks can increase in size and cause your teeth to become more sensitive to temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to give up the hard foods that you love but knowing how important it is to bite them carefully can make all the difference for the future of your oral health. Nobody wants to have to make that frantic call to an emergency dentist, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
