Chips, popcorn, sweets, jellies, fizzy drinks - such a diet dominated cinemas. The fact that it is not healthy for your teeth, is theoretically obvious, but as it turns out, many moviegoers do not see anything wrong with eating sweets and drinking carbonated drinks. Meanwhile, the bacteria, which convert sugar into acids harmful to the enamel, just waiting for so "valuable" menu. If it happens during a long film session, lasting even two hours, excellent conditions for the development of caries are created.
Statistics confirm that Poles love biting candies at the movies. According to the studies, 54 % of the Poles admit that they eat sweets in the cinema, as much as 87 % eat popcorn or potato chips, and a little more than 20 % drink sweet drinks. Only 7 % of moviegoers focus exclusively on the film.
The most damaging type of the sweets are the hard candies and all the stretching sweets: jelly beans, fudge, toffee. The first ones, hit your teeth and can cause fracture of enamel. The next ones in turn stick to the tooth surface so successfully and for so long that the bacteria inhabiting the oral cavity can safely carry out the destruction of the enamel. Jellies represent a challenge for the entire stomatognathic system - eating a whole pack of sweets is a serious effort for muscles and temporomandibular joints.
Popcorn can also be dangerous. Hard popcorn shells often get between teeth, irritating the gums. This applies mostly to the back teeth. The hard piece of popcorn stuck between the teeth can cause not only a normal discomfort but also serious problems and infections and, consequently, the creation of a painful gumboil, if the stuck piece is not removed. Cinema is one of those places where the tooth decay is fed. Childer are especially vulnerable to the bad influence of the fashionable cinematic diet. They eat the biggest amounts of sweets and are the amateurs of the "junk" snacks.
