15. Six Small Meal Diets
While grazing throughout the day may be better for your metabolism, it does nothing to promote good dental health. When teeth come into contact with food all day, their chances of decaying and staining are increased.

16. Tongue and Mouth Piercings
They may look awesome and do wonders for your social life, but a mouthful of roaming metal is just a recipe for chips and fractures when piercings hit teeth.

Gummy candy and even healthy treats like raisins and dried fruit can promote tooth decay by staying in nook and crannies in between teeth and wearing away at the surface. Remember to brush and floss after eating these kinds of things.
