Movie nights and fresh popcorn go hand in hand, but your teeth may not love every bite. Popcorn hulls can easily get lodged between teeth and along the gumline, which can lead to irritation or inflammation if not removed properly. And those unpopped kernels? They are one of the quickest ways to crack or chip a tooth.
After enjoying your favorite snack:
• Brush thoroughly
• Floss to remove trapped pieces
• Avoid chewing on hard kernels
