Honey and oral health: is it as dangerous as sugar for teeth?

l honey is often seen as a "healthier" alternative to sugar: but What happens to the teeth when we eat honey?

La caries is caused by the acid that destroys enamel; this acid is produced by the combination of bacteria and sugar.

Honey is basically sugar and therefore can still lead to tooth decay: although--on the one hand--honey takes longer to be broken down than regular table sugar, on the other hand Tends to stay on the teeth longer than normal sugar Because of its viscosity.

So Honey should also be consumed in moderation And, about 20 minutes after eating it, you have to brush your teeth As we would with any other sugary drink or food!
