THREADS GET STUCK BETWEEN THE TEETH WHEN WE EAT CERTAIN TYES OF MANGOES WHICH KIND OF CARBOHYDRATE ARE THEY
Answers
The previous response addressing the fibrous nature of mango, was excellent. Here’s a diffferent take on the matter:
From a dental - clinical perspective, if there are one or two areas where this is a huge problem (and presuming that the problem also occurs when eating other foods, but just not so much as when eating mango), there could be what is referred to as “open contacts”. This occurs when, for example, a crown or filling is placed that is not contoured properly, resulting in a space between the teeth that did not previously exist and should not exist.
Open Contacts that have been created by having restorative dental procedures, are considered to be a dental problem that needs to be resolved if one is to avoid increased future risk of periodontal disease in that area.
The short-term remedy would be to floss the problem areas each time after eating mango.
