Did you know that bread can cause cavities? 🍞When you chew bread, your saliva breaks down the starches into sugar. It is then transformed into a paste-like substance, which gets trapped between teeth and can lead to decay.

When choosing bread, aim for options that are less-refined, like whole wheat. These contain less added sugars and aren’t as easily broken down.
