🦷 Think all snacks are harmless? Think again.

In this must-listen episode, The Gum Guru takes a bite out of your snack drawer and reveals which popular foods are silently sabotaging your gums—and which surprising ones are actually giving your mouth a much-needed boost.

Join new host Lisa Brough and expert periodontist Dr. Singletary of North Raleigh Periodontics as they break down the science of snacking for better oral health. From sticky sweets and acidic fruits to "nature’s toothbrushes" and anti-inflammatory superfoods, you’ll walk away with practical, real-world advice to level up your snack game and protect your gums.

🟢 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why snacking drops your mouth’s pH—and how that harms your gums
• The hidden dangers of “healthy” snacks like dried fruit and crackers
• Why rinsing, not brushing, right after eating might be smarter
• What foods act like “natural toothbrushes” (and which ones crack teeth!)
• How to snack smart if you have implants
• The role of antioxidants, xylitol gum, and crunchy veggies in gum health

Whether you’re a health-conscious snacker or a midnight muncher, this episode will change the way you think about what you eat—and how it affects your smile.

📝 Your homework? Check the labels, watch the pH, and aim for snacks that clean, not corrode. (Bonus tip: if it’s white and processed... maybe skip it.)
