Chocolate and Dental Health

Although some types of chocolate may offer benefits, many contain high amounts of sugar, so moderation is key.

When craving chocolate, choose dark chocolate with less sugar and rinse your mouth or drink water afterward.

Avoid varieties containing caramel or biscuits, as they can stick to your teeth and increase the risk of decay. Chocolate-flavored cakes and cereals may also contain high levels of sugar and starch.
