Can food scratch your gum?

Cuts or injuries: Food and objects that enter the mouth can sometimes cause minor cuts or injuries to the gums and teeth. A person may also accidentally bite down on the gums, which can sometimes cause pain and bleeding.

Does crunchy food damage teeth?

Particles of these crunchy foods can get stuck in the grooves of your teeth and, because of their high carbohydrate content, carb loaded snacks quickly convert to sugars that can deteriorate the natural enamel on your teeth and increase the risk of tooth decay.

What causes shock in the teeth?

Sensitive teeth are typically the result of worn tooth enamel or exposed tooth roots. Sometimes, however, tooth discomfort is caused by other factors, such as a cavity, a cracked or chipped tooth, a worn filling, or gum disease.

Why does the back of my mouth hurt on one side?

Sinusitis. A more common cause of jaw pain on one side is sinusitis, or inflammation in the nasal cavity. Sinusitis usually occurs as a result of a cold or allergies. Since the condition causes inflammation in the cavities that reside behind your cheeks, it can often result in pain in one or both sides of your jaw.

What foods cause plaque on teeth?

What causes plaque? Plaque forms when bacteria in your mouth mix with sugary or starchy foods, such as milk, juice, soft drinks, bread, pasta and fruit. These bacteria release acids that break down carbohydrates in food and drinks.

Why do my cookies come out flat on top?

If your cookies come out flat on top, with a cake-like texture, you’ve added too many eggs. In this case, my mom and I added two extra eggs. Adding extra eggs is not a common issue, but we were curious. The results looked presentable, though the chocolate chips were lost a bit in the dough.

What happens if you put too much flour in cookie dough?

Even transferring the dough to the cookie sheet made the errors visible; dough with not enough flour was sticky and hard to transfer; dough that had too many eggs was runny and spread out on the pan; dough with too much flour was like glue — we were able to roll into a ball and it stayed in exactly the same shape throughout its time in the oven.

Why are my cookies Brown and not crispy?

If your cookies are flat, brown and crispy, that means you need to add flour to your dough for the next batch. Our cookies were brittle and greasy and cooked much faster than the other dough balls on the sheet. Though the culprit is usually a flour deficit, butter could also be to blame for this problem.

How do you fix cookie dough that spreads when baking?

Scooping dough onto a warm pan can also cause the cookies to spread more; so for the second batch and beyond, my mom and I usually stick the dough in the fridge until it’s time to load up the next cookie sheet. The easy fix here is to add more flour to the dough, little by little, until it sticks well to the mixer.
