Some people like their candy sweet while others enjoy the sour taste of candies. You can also put your dental health at risk if you choose the sweeter option. The Minnesota Dental Association states that extremely sour candy candies can cause serious damage to your smile.

Sour candies can be considered low-pH candies. They contain acid that can cause enamel to deteriorate. Tooth enamel is the most mineralized and hard substance in the human body. (Ross and al. at p. 485) However, it can show signs of wear that can lead to tooth decay and, if left untreated, even tooth loss.
