Whether we are giving chocolate to the ones we love or we just love chocolate, we also care about our teeth. Candy generally doesn’t mix well with keeping teeth healthy; however, dark chocolate can actually have some hidden benefits.
As researchers work to unlock the secrets of the cocoa bean, some studies have observed anti-cavity effects of tannins and flavanols, two natural compounds found in the bean. These elements combined with high levels of antioxidants help fight periodontal disease and prevent cavities.
If you are craving chocolate, choose dark chocolate that is low in sugar, wash it down with some water and always brush your teeth after eating. Stay away from chocolate that has nougat, caramel or cookie bits that can get stuck in your teeth, risking decay.
