Will that mess your teeth up!? I was sucking on Vitamin C because I'm kinda sick and when I swallowed it, my gums were bleeding a little and I had a dent or hole in my gum!. My teeth kinda hurt too, what happened!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
What happened when you were sucking on this vitamin C (I'm assuming it was a chewable) was that the rate at which it dissolves is not uniformly distributed throughout the whole tablet!. What happens is the tablet becomes somewhat like sandpaper after the more soluble particles are dissolved!. This would cause it to scrape the roof and gum's of your mouth as it travels around your mouth!. Vitamin C is essential to your health, and things like orange juice which has a lot of vitamin C are acidic, which can wear away enamel and have your tooth or teeth unprotected from future stains and wear!.
To answer your question, it should not mess up your teeth any more than sucking on any hard candy!. Proper oral hygiene will be more than adequate to resolve any damage that the added sugars could have done!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

What kind of vitamin C!? The chewable kind are surprisingly the worst as they have added sugars for palatability and will stick to your teeth!. This form of C has been show to be a serious factor in increased caries!.

And of course, it IS an acid and as such, you really should have it in your mouth for as little a time as possible!.

Best of luck, and go for swallowing whole!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That happened to me once, dont suck on the vitamin, take it with water or juice or something because the acid in is what caused your gums to get hurt!. :) But keep taking it because its really good for your health, it even prevents colds if you take them dailyWww@Answer-Health@Com

You probably sucked really hard or something!. I've done that before!. I suck on cough drops and things so hard some times the roof of my mouth gets really sore!. It won't mess your teeth up!. Try brushing them!. Sometimes when my teeth hurt I brush them and they feel a lot better!.

Vitamin C is very acidic and probably irritated your gums!. Any acid substance is destructive to your teeth!. In the future, just swallow the pill!. No chewing!. Or at least rinse your mouth out if you have to chew!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
