With Valentine\u2019s Day coming up, you might also have to think about what to eat on a date that won\u2019t mess up your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to plan a date where you don\u2019t have to carry dental floss, here are some foods that you ought to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Popcorn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the movies, there aren\u2019t very many tooth-healthy snacks. Popcorn, and popcorn kernels in particular, can potentially chip or crack teeth if you bite down on them. However, those kernels can also split into shards that can get caught between your teeth. That means popcorn is not only dangerous, but can be a really bad look as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ribs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everybody loves barbecue, but barbecue sauce can be a little bit messy for a first date. If you aren\u2019t careful, you can wind up with barbecue residue smeared on your face, messing up your makeup or clumping in your facial hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ribs also have a tendency to split into pieces that can get caught in your teeth. All in all, it\u2019s not a very good meal if you want to make the best impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caramel Apples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking your date to the fair is always fun, but what you eat while there could potentially cause serious problems for your oral health. Caramel apples in particular are absolutely terrible. The sticky caramel can get lodged in your teeth\u2014this not only contributes to long-term <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhillonfamilydental.com\/contact.html\">tooth decay<\/a>, but doesn\u2019t look too good either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe your ideal date involves staying in. Even among the snacks you have at home, there are some that can gunk up your smile. Potato chips, for example, can turn into a yellow sludge that gets caught between your teeth. Those starches are also picked up by bacteria, meaning that they contribute to gum disease and tooth decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this list might feel a little foreboding, it isn\u2019t quite as bad as it may initially look. There are still plenty of delicious foods to have on a date night; so long as you\u2019re mindful, you can eat well and still make a good impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Navkiran Dhillon is a dentist who believes the most important part of her work is being able to put anxious patients at ease.
