Does sticky rice worsen dental cavities?
short by / on Thursday, 22 May, 2025
High amylopectin in sticky rice enhances adhesion to enamel, prolonging carbohydrate availability for acidogenic bacteria. This promotes localized acid production and demineralization, especially in patients with exposed dentin or dental restorations. Proactive oral hygiene post-ingestion significantly mitigates risk.
