But I had a little chocolate... I put one spoon of sugar in my coffee, it’s not much.

Yet, whether you eat the whole cake or just one spoonful, the damage caused to your teeth is the same. That’s why what matters to us is not the quantity, but the frequency. It’s better to eat all the sweets you want at one time during the day than to take a sip of coffee every 15 minutes or eat two raisins in the morning, some honey in the afternoon, and a bar after the gym. Every time sugar enters your mouth, the pH drops and a process of demineralization begins until your saliva manages to balance the situation, which takes about 20 minutes, roughly the time between your sips of sweet coffee. Therefore, this leads to continuous breakdown that eventually affects your teeth without you realizing how much sugar you consume throughout the day.
