It isn't bad for my teeth, mine are made of plastic. Guess I should have cut back on the sugar. Edit: No plastic toothpaste here. I just take them out and drop them in a glass overnight. (What, did you think I was kidding?) It doesn't pay to neglect your teeth. Edit: You think a dentist causes pain?? Wait til you have a tooth that gets bad enough to abscess into the sinus cavity. When you find yourself running a needle up into your gums to alleviate the pressure, or find yourself in the bathroom at 2 a.m. with an upholstery hammer, and needlenose pliers removing your own tooth. And these things actually make it feel BETTER!!! THAT'S PAIN!! Take care of your teeth!!!!

Saliva dissolves the sugar, and this can cause damage to the tooth the sugar is attached to, since saliva is basic.
