When you drink and munch starchy or sugary foods, you're not only feeding yourself, you're feeding the bacteria that can cause plaque on your teeth. Plaque is a thin, invisible film of sticky bacteria and other materials that covers all the surfaces of all your teeth.
When you consume sugary foods and drinks such as cookies, cake, candy, and soda, you may feel pain in your teeth. That's because the acids from these foods, when broken down, can affect your mouth. Fermentable carbohydrates -- which usually make up sweet treats -- combine with the bacteria in your mouth to form acids.
