Is fruit bad for your teeth? I'd imagine they're similar to sweets and I can't think of a reason why natural sugar would be better for your teeth than proccessed sugars.
Do you know?

To be clear I'm not asking if fruit is better for your teeth than candy. But if fruit is bad for your teeth.

Certain fruits do contain a lot of acid...citrus fruits especially. If they are eaten and the teeth not cleaned afterwards, or even the mouth rinsed out with something like water, then yes, fruits can be as bad for your teeth as is confectionery, candy or anything containing processed sugars.
BTW... soft drinks are the worst for your teeth...it is ridiculous the amount of sugar they contain!

Fruit in and of itself, is not bad for your teeeth. However the natural sugars contain in fruit, may affect your teeth, as would any sugar that is left on your teeth.

Fruit sugar won't harm anyone. It's obviously better than candy..

The sugar you are referring to is fructose.

Juice is ok in moderation
Careful though, it has lots of sugar!
