One recent morning as I sat down to breakfast, I took a hearty bite out of my toast, and ouch. Ouch! My lower canine tooth felt quite sensitive. Was that throbbing in my gums? Could I have a cavity? If memory served, it sure felt like it.
Maybe it shouldn’t have come as a surprise; my nightstand drawer is filled with tins, jars, and pouches of gummies that resemble and taste like my favorite childhood candies. These sweets not only contain sugar but are often coated with the stuff.
