Crisps are better than raisins for teeth

Most of my grandchildren had raisins instead of sweets but parents would do better to give their children crisps than raisins if looking after their teeth is a priority, experts have claimed. A spokesman for the British Dental Association has warned that while dried fruit might seem the healthier option, eating raisins is like “gluing sugar to the teeth”. By contrast, crisps are “totally fine” for the teeth, said dentist Ben Atkins – although he added that some children’s crisp brands contain added sugar and should be avoided.
