Lollipops are recognized as the most dangerous sweets for teeth. According to specialists, they not only destroy enamel and provoke cavities, but can also negatively affect children's bite.

As reported by TUT.AZ with reference to Izvestia, orthodontist Victoria Radko explained this.

According to her, lollipops are a real sugar concentrate that remains in the mouth for an extended period, literally "bathing" the teeth in a sweet environment. Unlike chocolate or marshmallows, which are eaten quickly, a lollipop contacts the enamel for a whole 10-15 minutes. During this time, the acidity in the mouth significantly decreases, bacteria begin to actively multiply and attack dental tissues.

Besides the chemical composition, habits when consuming such sweets also pose a serious danger. If a child regularly keeps candy in their mouth or bites the stick, this creates an improper load on the jaw.

"With regular repetition of such actions, teeth can shift, and over time an open bite forms," the specialist warned.
